Fellow New Hampshire SS Members.
The NH Toys for Tots drive this year needs help. My new Marine buddy, Sgt Boice from the Reserve Center in Londonderry (actually right on the backside of the Manchester Airport) called me today looking for help. I by chance hooked up with him last year for one vehicle placement day and a full truck run from Keene to the center with a load of toys.
For their big 3 day “Stuff the Bus” event at the Fox Run Mall in Portsmouth this year, their usual sponsor and bus provider have not stepped up to the plate. Clear Channel and WMUR Channel Nine have offered to sponsor it but no buses yet. He asked me to help out. I told him I would ask for help from fellow SS members to see what we could do. He thought we might have to turn it into a “Stuff the Deuce” event. Three or four or five Deuces being loaded and shuttling the toys to the center. . Actually any military vehicle especially with a trailer in tow would be more than welcomed also.
It will take a big commitment from anyone willing to help out. The event takes place on Dec. 11,12 and 13. The event may run Fri from about 8 AM-10 PM, Sat 8 AM-10 PM and Sun. from 8 AM-10 PM. Perhaps if we get enough people on board we can spread the time around so nobody gets more than one day unless they want to do more. He mentioned that if their budget allowed they might be able to book a room if needed so some people could stay over.
This Reserve Center does a massive drive as they provide toys for 7 of the 9 counties in NH. Once they start they are practically 24/7 until the day before Christmas. They are a great bunch of guys that devote a lot of time to the effort. They deserve all the help we can give them.
If by chance they do get a bus company to provide buses, then our part would change more to a vehicle placement job. They only have 15 passenger vans at their disposal and Dodge vans don’t attract kids and people like our MV’s will. He said he might be able to get a Hummer and trailer if he can get a driver also.
As we all know times are tough for many families this year so let’s do what we can to help.
Anyone from northern Mass. and/or southern Maine is also welcome to help.
Let me know what you think you might be able to do.
Thanks very much,
BC
I wrote this in word and copied and pasted it. Can anyone tell me how to change the color of the print??? Please??

I think we can pull off 4-5 deuces EASY, half a doz should still be very realistic. Who knows maybe we can get a full dozen there and really make it a blowout.
