Hello Mustang Friends!! We wanted to thank everyone so much for another successful
Toy Run!! We had over 40 friends to eat lunch with us before we left to deliver our toys!
We also had 35 Mustangs to drive together to drop off our toys to the Air National Guard.
It was so cool to be able to park on “Mustang Street” on base and then to top it off for the
Wing Commander Colonel Burgy and Wing Commander Chief Master Sergeant Payne to give us a
“Thank You” speech!!! They really appreciated what we were doing for their Military Children! Last
years toy count was 245 and this year was 325!! So we past our goal this year thanks to all of you!
We want to thank Steve and Rita for having donation boxes at several locations to collect toys and
Donnie and Gina having boxes at their church collecting toys. I know there were many others who
told friends and family about us and they donated toys too. So, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
Our club members have such big hearts and we are so blessed to be members of such a caring group
of people! We appreciate you all!! You have made so many children happy this Christmas...
