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.

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.
