Car Clubs Bring ‘Toys 4 Tots’ to Kakaako
The “Toys 4 Tots Show and Shine” will be held this Sunday, November 27, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at 100 Ohe St. in Kakaako, the large parking lot located across the street from the Children’s Discovery Center at Kakaako Waterfront Park.
This year, the Aloha Mustang and Shelby Club of Hawaii is hosting a “Show and Shine” for all “Toys 4 Tots” participants after they drop off their toys. All car clubs (and independents too!) are invited to participate. This is an informal event: no trophies, no assigned parking spaces, etc. It’s just a chance for island gearheads to gather, talk story, and take a look at all the beautiful (and not-so-beautiful) cars.
The drop-off location is a very large parking lot, so there will be a lot of space to spread out, and organizer Steven Onoue says that attendees can set up a tent if they so desire (as there is little natural shade in the lot). He says his team is also going to try and set up a PA system for some music and any announcements.
There will not be any food or drinks available, so feel free to bring your own lunch and refreshments. No alcoholic beverages, please. You might also want to bring sunscreen, hat, and chairs.
If your club is going to participate in the Show and Shine, please give Steven Onoue a call at (808) 389-8640 or send him an email to [email protected] so that organizers have some idea of how many clubs will be there.
Here are the details:
When: Sunday, November 27, 9:00 am – 12:30 pm
Where to meet: There is no central place to meet before cruising to the drop-off location. It will be up to each club to decide if they are going to cruise together to the drop-off location, or just meet at the drop-off location.
Drop-off location: The drop-off location is at 100 Ohe St. in Kaka’ako (map). This is a large parking lot located across the street from the Children’s Discovery Museum, close to Kaka’ako Waterfront Park. The Toys 4 Tots collection trucks will be in this parking lot. You can drop off your toys any time between 9:00 am and 12:30 pm.
What to bring: New, UN-wrapped toys, and if you’re going to hang around for the Show and Shine: chairs, lunch, drinks, sunscreen, hat, tent, etc.
Who to contact: Steven Onoue – you can call him at 808-389-8640 or send him email.
