I never thought to decorate the Deuce like the truck in the video at 3:10, but I had to smile! Good One!

It may be too late, but I just emailed the local USMC contact for Toys For Tots....

If your Marines are like ours, it's never too late to offer help and they need all kinds. It doesn't really break loose until Black Friday. That's when everybody starts to think, " Toys for Tots!!!"

Here's some pictures from Wal_Mart this morning. Shop van with the local PD, granddaughter of one of our donors behind the wheel, and a full side shot of my shop van.

Not for Toys for Tots but it was for charity. We had several trucks out at Elephant Butte Lake in NM last year and had them all decked out with lights. Planning on doing it again this year: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...hant-Butte-Lake-12-14-2013&highlight=elephant

This event has historically involved the larger boats being decorated and paraded but with the drought we have been experiencing, water is scarce. Last year had less and smaller boat than in the past. But, there is beach aplenty. And for that, what better than big ol land yachts like what we have. Since I now have all of the stuff to decorate mine now, I would definately think about doing that when my Toys for Tots contact comes-a-callin.

And by the way, I don't think it is too late either. I contacted my local TFT's back when Chaplain John first posted it and they told me to stand by, they will be in touch.

Looks GREAT, Mike!
That's one "Tickled Tot" in the driver's seat

These MVs can be such awesome ambassadors to our communities and various charities. Convoy on, Soldier!

Help NNJ Boy Scouts Help Toys for Tots

The following request for multiple days was posted to the the MTA list but we know there are more MVs in our area than we have club members, so we need you and your MV. It's not an MTA event. It's a Boy Scouts/USMC effort and we just happen to be a contact point for the right rolling stock.

These toys will go to the Marines at Picatinny who already have a requests totalling 250,000 (that's right) items this year, and a nearly bare warehouse. They need to cover from down around Ft Dix north the the NY line, from the Hudson River to the PA boarder. That's lots of kids.

Please look over the following schedule and see if you can spare a couple of hours with your truck to help the Boy Scouts fill this need.

If you can bring your MV to an event or two, please contact Tim (who you might know from his work at the Sussex show) at the email he's provided (Tim Farrell tim.farrell @ ieee.org no spaces). Please don't post to this thread or send a response to me. It'll only slow things down. Tim hasn't had much time to visit SS lately due to work.

I hope we can get a solid response for this worthy effort.
