Dear David and Members of the Cruisers Club;

The Kiwanis Club of Montrose Area would like to extend a gracious and heartfelt THANK YOU for your
extremely generous donation of $600 to our annual Christmas Toy Drive.  Because of the cruisers club
benevolence, this year’s Toy Drive was another success story.  This year marks the 30th straight year that the
Kiwanis Club has participated in this worthwhile community service project.

The need for helping our neighbors was as great and even greater this year as it has been in past
years.  The public’s response to the call for help was extremely heart-warming, generous and overwhelming.  
Along with the donations of other people, churches, organizations, and businesses, we were able to make this
Christmas a day filled with joy and hope by providing at least 3 to 5 new and used toys per child.  

Each year the Interfaith Christmas Bureau coordinates this entire Christmas project.  The process includes
registering ALL participants beginning in early October.  To be eligible, each registrant is required to provide
proof of income and the list of participants is checked with other organizations to ensure there is no duplication.  
Each family that registers is eligible to receive a food basket, new and used toys, and winter coats.  Toys and
food baskets were distributed on Thursday, December 17, 2009, at the Montrose Bible Conference on Lake
Avenue in Montrose and the United Methodist Church on Church Street in Montrose.  Coats were given out at
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Montrose.

This year a total of 900 children and 700 families throughout Susquehanna County received Christmas gifts.  A
total of almost 4000 toys and games (new and used) were purchased, collected and distributed.  Attached please
find some photos that show just a small portion of the toys and food baskets that were given out.  As you can
see, the response was truly blessed.

Thanks again for helping us share the spirit of the Christmas season.  To see the smiles on the faces of the
children who get the toys is the greatest gift any of us can receive!

May the New Year of 2010 bring many blessings, good health, prosperity, joy and peace to you and all the
members of the Endless Mountains Cruisers Club and your loved ones!!

                                                       Sincerely yours,



                                                       Ed DeWitt, Chairman

Who We Are
The Endless Mountains Cruisers is a non-profit
organization that was formed in the year 1997 by
and for auto enthusiasts.  The club is located in the
beautiful town of Montrose, in the
Endless Mountains region of northeastern PA.

Meetings are held once a month from February
through October at the Claverack REC Building on
Rt. 706E, one mile east of Montrose.  The club
hosts a Car & Truck Show annually which is held on
the scenic Montrose Area High School Campus.  
The proceeds are received through local sponsorship,
registration of show car participants, door prizes, a
Chinese auction, and yearly dues paid by members.
Amongst other events, the club hosts an annual Car and
Truck show which is held on the scenic Montrose High
School grounds.   
Club members also enter area car shows, get together for
social events, and meet at local favorite hotspots.
In July the Cruisers have their annual picnic, in
September, a “Road Rally” and in October, an “Annual
End of the Year Dinner Cruise”.  A club Photo Album is
also available to remember our outings as well as the
shows. The Endless Mountains Cruisers also enjoy being
with other car enthusiast discussing their ideas and
experiences in purchasing and restoring vehicles. The
Endless Mountain Cruisers work very hard every year to
make their annual car show a success, which makes it
possible to continue donating to worthy causes such as the
Ronald McDonald House and other local charities.
