Calling all Northies...food drive

[mtnairlover]

Hey guys, here's the thing...rforsythe has posted up a suggestion for a food drive and we'd like to make it a concerted effort.

What I need from you guys is a meeting spot and day/evening/time when we can meet up and iron out details. I want as many people to show up as possible...that means all you guys, dammit!

Logistics:

Meet: Full Throttle Coffee House
When: Thursday, Dec. 11 at 7:00
Why: To discuss logistics of collecting food and other items for the drive that is mentioned in the link up above.

Me: I'll coordinate everyone with timing. I need someone to donate a truck for a day (if we need it). I'll do whatever else needs done.

I need you guys to post up whether you'll show up tomorrow night, or what you would like to do to help.

We'll collect items until December 19 and then either deliver them, or wait for the R2SL trailer to pick up the items at one location.

More info tomorrow night at Full Throttle.

I've rewritten my original post...just bumpin this up so you all can see what I'm hoping to get done.

[CurtisRR]

I should be free by 7 so most likely I will be there. If there is a delay or problem I will text you Cathy.

[chad23]

I have truck and trailer if needed. Just let me know where you need us
I will not be able to make the meeting, we got the kids Christmas thing.
Cathy just call me with the details

Don't know if I can make it up tomorrow but we've got the Suburban to haul stuff.

[mtnairlover]

Thanks guys. I'll get more info to all of you after the meeting tomorrow. I've heard from a couple of people who will more than likely show up tomorrow at FT. Hope to see you there, Curtis.

Chad...thanks, as always, and I'll call ya.

If anyone has any ties to the local news outlets, then let's figure out a way to let them know what's going on. Also, check in with your employers. If we get the media involved, we can also mention any employers aiding us in the cause.

More later...
