United-States Toy Drive In Fairfield County, CT


I'm encouraged by other toy drives in the area, and am volunteering to lead a drive in Connecticut. MINI of Fairfield County will be the assembly point, where we'll have a fill the MINIs collection for new, or new looking toys, and food doantions too if you desire. When you drop off your toys, and food, we'll take your suggestion for which place to donate to.
The Marine's Toys for Tots, the Make A Wish Foundation, Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang, whatever! Realizing the fact we're starting this late, lets MOTOR folks. Call me at our store, 203-348-4700 to help in any way. We've got better than 10 days to assemble a bunch of toys and food for kids. It is their season, let's make it happen for them. Thank you,

Scott

Do you have a date in mind for the actual delivery? I'll be happy to deliver a present on Tuesday when I pick up my new Mini.

Many thanks for taking up the lead Scott.

I have two dates in mind, depending on response. The first would be Sunday the 21st, second choice is Tuesday the 23rd. I am flexible though, since it is more last minute than I would prefer. We do accept UPS and FEDEX shipments at the dealership, so anyone can donate that way, and avoid driving down. Betsy is our first MINI to fill, she's the 1970 Black and White Cooper in the showroom. Once she's filled, we'll fill more showroom cars until we have to work outside! Thanks for your help!

WE'RE NOT EVEN ORGANIZING IT!!! What you see here is a last minute reaction to the information i received from the General Manager there yesterday. Bottom line is that's that. Drop by - drop some toys. We're stopping in today. And no, the car I'm thinking of isn't going anywhere....

Too dumb to think of it. Apparently we made it after GMINI and Max - lots of nice toys and presents - oh and they're collecting food for a local food bank. Call them before you head over since I'm not sure what the timing is on the pick ups. 203-348-4700

Peace to all in this year and next.
