The theme for the EC4WDA 40th annual convention is 'Hoedown at Brookville Corral'
	Will it be a gathering, a shindig, a hootenanny or a hoedown? We are going Western' Oh my gosh! Heaven only knows what all of you can come up with with a theme like that. In the past this group has made miracles happen with themes that would boggle the mind, so I am sure it won't be any different this year.

Carrie Swain, our community projects chairperson, has made arrangements for us to have fun again this year. We are going to get in the holiday spirit with a 'Toys For Tots' drive. A lot of our clubs really get involved in this in their communities, so let's see what we can do on an association level.

Everyone bring a couple of toys for the girls and boys! The kids will get a kick out of helping for this one too. The toys don't have to be expensive, and don't wrap them! They have to be unwrapped so the parents who come to pick them out for their kids can see them.

There is a 'Toys For Tots' pick up station manned by the Marines in Clearfield, PA. On Sunday sometime during the day the gifts will be picked up by a Marine representative who will take them to the pickup station.

Bring your toys to the meeting on Saturday and Sunday. Carrie will help you put them in a safe place in the meeting room. We will feel a lot better about our gifts at Christmas-time for this one!

Hospitality Room

Region B will host our entertainment after the awards banquet and will be in charge of the hospitality room for the weekend.

Of course, all of the clubs and individuals are responsible for lending a hand a hand keeping the festive table well stocked. So this year let's think 'If I wanna munch, gotta bring a bunch of good stuff.'

Door Prizes

Don't forget to bring your door prizes! We all like to win them so ask the club to get behind the effort. Bring them to the room when you come to the banquet. Region B will make their plan to sell tickets to win them. As history goes, it is usually held in conjunction with the split the pot, but they may have a different plan this year.
