Body Beach Toy Drive


BOUYS FOR TOYS

Lake Havasu City, Arizona is a wonderful place to hang your hat and call it home. With mild temperatures in the winter, water sports are never too far out of our minds.


Even though the city is considered a tourist destination, we must never forget the permanent residents, who do their best and work hard during these difficult economic times around the holidays.


Riders usually gather this time a year for a Christmas ride. This time Lake Havasu’s new residents, Chris and Rachel MacClugage thought it would be nice to give back to the City, and suggested a toy drive for the needy children in the city.


December 20th dozens of PWC racers and enthusiasts gathered at Body Beach in Lake Havasu City bearing some 200 Christmas gifts and cash for Lake Havasu City’s Inter-Agency Council’s adopt a family Christmas program. Toys came from all directions, Northern California, Southern California, Nevada, Arizona, and even Alberta Canada.


Jet Trim and Walt’s Motorsports also attended, bringing with them numerous toys for the boys and girls.


Interagency Council offers a wide variety of services to the community. Not only does it have a food bank, but it also supports various programs such as; Big Brothers & Big Sisters, Counseling for victims of domestic violence and Healthy Families of Arizona. Rick Miers, Executive Director, was on hand to accept the gifts and was overwhelmed with the out pouring of support from the PWC Community, as this year, Interagency is helping 250 families this holiday season.


“We always try to gather around Christmas time to ride when Chris suggested we make it a charity ride this year. It made sense,” said organizer Chris Hagest. “We all love Lake Havasu City, and Body Beach is the reason we’re here so what better place to gather and help Havasu’s kids?”


Even though the water temperature was around 40 degrees, Kurt Samuels and Bob Hyde, both of Lake Havasu City, decided to take advantage of the event and get some extra laps in to prepare for the 2009 racing season. Bryn Mallard of Edmonton, Alberta decided to show up the boys by riding only in a pair of shorts, life vest and tour coat to tear it up on the practice course on an X-2 proudly provided by Jon Lee of Las Vegas.


Nedra, our #1 fan, made sure that everyone in attendance stayed warm by serving a pot of bean soup to all that attended.
