Exclamation DEC 7 - Toys for Tots Show - Huntington Beach, CA

Once a year Gerhard opens his collection for all to see and ride in some VERY rare vehicles from an 1895 Mercedes to an SLR and MORE...
+ A German Lunch cooked in a 1950 Gulaschkanone (WW 2-Style Military Field Kitchen)

Pics from last year: http://www.pcsctoydrive.org/toydrive...7pictures.html

The event is to support ATSC children with toys for Christmas. Come out to support a great cause and see some Very Rare cars/trucks/motorcycles.

MBUSA along with the Classic Center will have cars also on display. Along with the 300 SL Gull Wing Club and others.

SCHNUERERS' ANTIQUE VEHICLE BARN
21532 Surveyor Circle, Huntington Beach, CA 92646



The per person admission (donation) to our annual event is a NEW, UNWRAPPED toy (please NO stuffed animals for toy donations, as they cannot be accepted by the foundation), valued at $20.00, or a monetary donation of $20.00 can be accepted. Although children under 5 are admitted at no charge, donations are always welcome. Checks should be made out to, �Toys for Tots Foundation�. www.toysfortots.org

With your toy or monetary donation, you will receive a meal ticket for delicious German food, including Gulasch, Sauerkraut, Bratwurst, drinks, and more great food that will be served from the Gulaschkanone.

Due to our increasing attendance each year, we ask that you RSVP... Additionally, if you pass this invitation on to others, we ask that they, too, contact me via e-mail to ensure there is plenty of food for all.



Anyone willing to donate an item such as a model car, sculpture, autographed baseball(s), or coupons to a local restaurant or for an event, please send or drop off the item at the address above. We ask that we have the item on or before Monday, November 17, 2008. Special items will be selected for the AUCTION, which will be held the same day as the Toy Drive on Sunday, December 7, 2008, and raffle tickets will be sold throughout the day for the remaining items which will be raffled off at the end of the day. All proceeds from the AUCTION and RAFFLE will be donated to the Assessment and Treatment Services Center - ATSC. www.atsc4kids.org
