World Renown Vagos Motorcycle Club

The local Venice
Charter, of the Vagos Motorcycle Club, held their 14th Annual Toy Drive and
I’m happy to report it was a huge success!
The toys collected were given to children
at the Boys and Girls Club on Lincoln Blvd. It was one very rainy Sunday,
December 7 but more than 200 motorcycles rolled up with toys strapped to sissy
bars. What a sight to see! Some of the children already knew which toy they
hoped to get when their raffle number was called.
Chico, the treasurer of the
Venice Charter said, “We do the Toy Drive because there are a lot of needy
children in Venice that wouldn’t have the joy of Christmas. We want to
make sure these kids are happy on
Christmas.”
Notification was
made one month prior to the selected date and Santa’s sleigh was no where
near but the engines reeved – Vagos Motorcycle Club
delivered!
When asked who Chico
would like to acknowledge for the 14 years of successful toy drives he shared,
“There’s too many to individuals to name. Appreciation must be sent
out to all the businesses and all the individuals that have become part of the
toy run, especially Mark at the Shack. John Haro, the president of the Vagos
Motorcycle Club Venice Charter, started the toy drive14 years ago, with his love
and support for children, the toy drive would not be possible! We are looking
forward to the 15th Annual Toy Drive.”
A Holiday Wish from the Crew:
“Everybody needs to come together and become one in the community of
Venice.”
