Looks like a good day and cause. Used to do the same but with motorcycle for toys for tots

I wished as a club we could get more members to donate. Our club has over 5000 members in all but only about 30-40 of us do this. It would be great to see what we could do if we had say several 100 members show up.
All in all though we have a good time and we do a lot of good for the community.

That's a really good thing you all are doing. Your club is the real thing. Definitely an active one.

How do you put the word out to the club? I guess on FB? I just checked the website and didn't see anything about it.

Yea our face book site.
Tim, Matt has it setup so it falls off after the date has passed. You have to click on all the event page to see what's already happened. Here it is for you. We also put it out at the picnic also.
If anybody wants to donate to the cause we take gift cards.

Really? It wasn't your event, was it? If I saw the event and wanted to check it out, I would walk amongst them and enjoy it to the fullest, because I realize everyday has it's possibilities for me to get sick. If I didn't feel comfortable with them not wearing masks, I would move along... because my health is my responsibility. I certainly would not lecture anyone about their choice to wear or not.

Wearing a mask is each person own business. It's not mine to tell you are anyone else to wear one and it sure ant the governments. If you are afraid then stay home. I don't wear one outside at all. If I go inside and they say wear it, then I either wear it are go some where else depending on what I'm doing. I have medical reason's I don't have to wear it at all. Like I said it's my choice and only mine.
