fdt, I started to worry about what had happened to you since I had not seen any posting here for a while from you. I will get toys to one of the drop
offs but since I am officially retired now thinking of actually going down this time. Besides toys do you take cookies,candy,etc. down to give to
kids while they are waiting to get a chance at receiving a toy? Just asking as I was going to ask people at our church if they would like to bake and
put cookies in zip lock sandwich bags to hand out also. If so how many would be needed if I can get them to do this?? Will also see about doing the
same with candies, if possible for those that do not bake or do not like ovens as they might attack them if ever used in their house,LOL.
Could you also say what other drop offs there are in Chula Vista and National City or other places. Take care my friend and I wish you along with
your family safe travels, good health and yes good financial times in this coming year. Later-- bajafun777 "No Hurry,No Worry, Just FUN"
We need many, many toys and as for food items, in the past and keeping with tradition, we always have hot tamales, frijolitos and hot chocolate served
for all the children and adults attending the toy drive and of course the Rosca de Reyes, this we have made and the Rosca we either buy or get
donated.

Ok fdt, about how much does the Rosca bread cost to serve everybody at the presentation of the gifts to the kids? bajafun777 "No Hurry, No

I will find out today and also post the Chula Vista drop off location info.

By the number of children we will have and the price for Roscas from last years they will run about $200 pesos per rosca, so 5 roscas shoud be
suficient $1,000 pesos = 83 dollars at a rate of 12 to 1.

fdt, will be in Chula Vista tomorrow so will drop off some gifts at the place on Broadway. I would also like to send you $40 dollars to help pay for
the Roscas. Please give me a mailing address so I can mail this money to you. Take Care & Travel Safe bajafun777 "No Hurry, No Worry,

Fernando, very nice people at the Jackson Hewitt where I dropped off the toys and left a little help for the Roscas. Will really try to make it on
Jan.16th if I do not have any other family things pop-up. Again, nice place for toys to be left with the warm reception you receive. Take Care

So great that you will be there to film the event once again. Your work is fantastic! My daughter Sara will be joining us for her second trip, and I
will make my 3rd trip. We are inviting some others that hopefully will join us.
Baja Nomad's - I will match the next $100 in donations. I have seen how much effort is made to put this together, and would encourage any
participation that you are able to do.
Scot - Thank you for the nice words! Last January, my wife had only been in the USA for about 1 1/2 months, and I didn't want to leave her at home
where she knew nobody at the time. Now, with her travel documents in place, I am looking forward to bring her (to also help with the Toy effort) and
my trusty Handicam.
It will be nice to meet Leidys, looking forward to it!
I had just showed her the video, and since portions of it are in Spanish (and because she met CG's wife Miriam), she is 100% up for the task! This will be a great event, and I'm looking forward to our participation in
it.
Ken, my wife and I are also planning to go to this event also and look forward to letting the wives meet and talk. Yes, my wife speaks spanish, which
is great because mine is lacking in some area,LOL>
Fernando your work is great on this event and Ken's video really adds that personal touch to it. Again, I encourage all nomads on this site to try and
donate if possible. You are never so big as when you bend down to help a child in need. Take Care & Travel Safe bajafun777 "No Hurry, No

Gary,
That sounds great! Could we possibly bum a ride from you to the event? I'll be carrying my cameras...
