Food & Toy Drive hosted by Local Business People -- Join the Fun -- Wed., Dec. 12

Food & Toy Drive; Unwrapped Toys; Nonperishable Food; Local Business People

We, the Crescenta Valley Chapter of Business Network International (BNI) are holding our annual Food and Toy Drive on Wednesday, December 09 at Dish Restaurant at 7am. Dish Restaurant is located at 734 Foothill, La Canada. Sheriff’s Deputy Jesse Alcala from the La Crescenta Station will be our featured speaker for this meeting. This is our favorite meeting of the year. We are the only BNI chapter in the San Fernando Valley BNI District to hold a Food and Toy Drive. We’d love to have you come and participate. You can come and have breakfast with a great group of local business people or just come and drop off your nonperishable food and unwrapped toys. There is a $15 venue fee if you wish to join us for breakfast. This is the same fee that each member has already paid. Our meeting goes from 7am to 8:30am, so you will be able to get back to your day in a timely manner.

We have been holding a Christmas Food and Toy Drive for more than 15 years. I am one of our two 20+ -year members of the chapter and have lost track of the number of years I have been the point person on this project. Come and meet a great group of local business people and help make this our best Food and Toy Drive ever. For more information, call me at 626-794-9620. Whatever vehicle the Sheriff Deputies bring, our goal is to Over Fill it.
