| Our local recently learned that US Marines returning to our area are flying into Palm Springs International Airport, sometimes at night after the buses have stopped running. To get to their duty station at the 29 Palms Marine Base, their only option was to take a cab, at a cost of about $200 for the 55 mile ride. Since 2007, some 6,000 Marines have gotten rides from SOSride, a volunteer organization that gives a free ride to any soldier who needs it. These are VOLUNTEER drivers who need money for gas and related costs. Click here to go to www.SOSride.org for information on how to volunteer or make a donation. |

| On December 8th a "thank you" dinner was held at the Fontana Breakfast Lions Club to honor those who donated cash or toys to the annual Toys for Tots campaign. Our President Richard Bruce and others were on hand to deliver the toys collected at the Union Hall. A plaque was given to Local 8599 commemorating our participation in this years event. |
