Or perhaps coming south through Tecate and can drop them off with me at a place of your convenience. From there, I can get them back up to Ferna.

That would be great. I don't want to get anyone in trouble with bringing across so many toys.
Another would be if someone could pick up the toys in Phoenix and get them closer for us to get, like Calexico or El Centro maybe?
Hey, even Yuma would be great and I could visit Oso

When is the last possible time items can be delivered to the Baja Bound office in Downtown San Diego?

Thx.

because of the nature of the event, which is not like a tossing at the crowds a bunch of toys, but each toy is individually wrapped and labeled for a specific boy or girl, the sooner we have them, the better.
We also have to smuggle them across and that is one of the most time consuming things of all this.
So, the last day to get toys to Baja Bound is Friday the 18th and they close at 5.
We have had toys come on the day of the event by those joining us and we've had wrapping paper ready for that but we would need to know in advance so we can be ready, this also takes up a lot of time, since it's last minute and there are other things to attend to that very same day.

A friend just called to say he is shipping a box down to the office today.

We can do this Nomads!

Any idea of the number of toys we still need Ferna?
