Hi there, :yo:

:attention: It's been a while that I posted something valuable but here you have it :peace:
Yes even the reefer community in Houston will have a Toy drive.
Dennis an I been discussing this for a while and we will launch this from 12/02 till 12/17 noon.
Each can drop off a unwrapped toy for a boy or girl in the age range below 14 year from $20 or more, more toys are welcome of course.
For each toy given you get 2 :turboink: " Thank You's " :turbowhr:tickets from Dennis :thumb:
Oh WoW :faint:tickets.......... yes on Saturday 12/17 afternoon Dennis and I plan on do a raffle for all who have tickets, even if you didn't give anything you're still welcome.
Another important subject is you don't have to be present to win:loveit: but who wants to miss a party :jump:

Now if you drop off a toy from $20 or more you be aloud to purchase more tickets if you like for $10 a piece, instead of bringing more toys, of course I will stress every one for more toys as it's the spirit that counts.
The funds collected Dennis and me will buy more toys for that.
During the Raffle we will have soda's :cheers: and snacks :popcorn: and pizza :pizza: and more :hungry: donated by Diesel (who is this guy we talk of all the time?)

Raffles.......:rockon:...... of course, I almost forgot :pound:
Give and Win.
We have some sponsors already that I talked to.

th

Patrick donated a 2017 Vortech MP40 QD



Chris donated a Reef Octopus Sump.

Larry donated 10 packs of reef frenzy 8oz



More donations will be posted as soon we will get confirmation.
Of course that Diesel guy :noidea: and Dennis FJW will throw in something to fill up some gaps on the day of the raffle.

So what we say.............. Give and Win :3gears: make your way this weekend but before the 17th of this month a visit to Dennis FJW.
Oh one more thing for all who bring a toy, the parking is free :owned:
If ya'll have any questions please contact us as we want this to be for the KIDS only.


Thanks you, Dennis and Ben

Happy Friday Bump!!

So far 3 happy Reefers has dropped off some great looking toys and a cash donation.
Pretty sure there will be more toy drop offs as the prices are awesome.
And myself will throw in a surprise pack of corals, don't ask me or request corals as it is a surprise pack and it will be nice.
If you don't have time to drop off toys but will be visiting THE frag show this weekend, you can hand it off to me and I'll bring some tickets with me.
I'm the one that will be giving out a few Azurelite Flash lights and GC to a LFS in Houston just cause it's Christmas.

Also let me post this for all, Dennis (FJW) and Deanna (sneeze) and I had a little meeting about the times on Saturday the 17th.
We still will start at noon but we will start the raffle drawings at 2:30 and 3PM, in that case members that have that night Christmas parties to attent include the Marsh Christmas party can have the best of both and don't have to choose as they can leave on time.
We will announce more raffles as we get close to the date.
I believe Redsea gave a OK to Dennis for a price for the Toy drive, not sure what they dropped down as I haven't spoken to Dennis.
Still talking to more vendors.
We will also post where and to who the toys are going, from all the cash that we bring in we buy more toys and open up the books as how much came in and is spend on more toys.

Great to hear Ben! I was hoping the 7pm start time on the Christmas party was late enough to not interfere with the toy drive. People can leave FJW and have time to drive to my house.

Just had a email that we had another donation made towards the toys (Daniel Seyer sent you $150.00 USD) thanks a bunch, my friend.

Oh for the ppl who was wondering where the toys are going!!
We have been debating between the Good Shepherd Residential Treatment Centre Home and the Toys for Tots Home Page
We have chosen the Toys for Tots, I'm currently working with our own HERO in town Mario (lordspice) to get one or two Marines to the store from Dennis (FJW) to receive the toys.
The reason for that was that the Good Shepherd only accept Boys toys and we have quite a few girly toys in tank already.
Of course the Good Shepherd will be not undone as I will make a visit myself and bring a bunch of boy toys but that's just a Diesel thing.
We are a few days in and already have a great turn out.
Still a 1.5 week to go and I foresee a lot more toys as well a great turn out on Saturday.

PS: did I mention that I will throw in the raffle a WWC Rainbow torch double heads................ well here you have it!

I'm happy to announce the BoDs have discussed and approved a $200 donation to the toy drive! I will make the donation tomorrow at FJW. MARSH will politely decline any raffle tickets for this donation.
