"The Ronald McDonald House provides families the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful Christmas with gifts while being away from home at no additional expense.
- The Community Room is transformed into a Santa Store filled with wonderful new gifts and goodies for all ages. Volunteers set up the Santa Store and arrange gifts in sections by gender and age for easy shopping. Santa Store opens two weeks before Christmas and is staffed with smiling Volunteers ready to assist and provide gift-wrapping.
- Parents are able to visit the Santa Store to select gifts for their Children.
- Children visit the Santa Store with a Volunteer escort to help select the perfect gift for their parents and siblings.

Greetings everyone,
Just a reminder that the December Meeting and Ronald McDonald Santa Store Charity Donation Gift Drive is this coming Tuesday.
Please take a moment and let us know if you are coming out to the meeting. So far we have more Mazdaspeed guys RSVP'd than actual rotary guys.
Thanks!

Pics posted...
Despite the lack of pics there were 4 or 5 RX-8s at the meeting. A couple of the guys left early for other holiday engagements and I was so busy handling things I didn't get around to snapping many pics until later.

Thank you guys who came out and supported the effort, the staff, volunteers and patrons of the Ronald McDonald's House appreciate our efforts. Someone counted 32 people at the meeting and we had nearly 100 gifts in all to donate to the Santa Store!
I hope to see you guys in January. Next year we are moving the meetings to second Tuesday instead of the first Tuesday. Additionally we are having our Beer, Babes and Bullets Run at the end of the month. Details coming soon.
