I willingly admit that I am one of those individuals who has to change the channel when a Humane Society commercial comes on. A voice in my head argues every time I do it, that I should endure the heartbreak of watching these poor, innocent animals stare at me through my tv screen, begging me to take them home. And if my home (and fiance) could handle it, every last one of those little furballs would be scampering about, leaving chaos in their wake. Alas, neither my wallet, nor my tiny home could withstand such a feat of adopting every pup and feline in need. Luckily, there are opportunities like this one - the 2nd Annual Charity Golf Tournament and Helicopter Golf Ball Drop hosted at Houndslake Country Club in Aiken, SC, which benefits F.O.T.A.S. (ie: Friends of the Animal Shelter). An excuse to play golf on a weekday AND support a rescue for adoptable furbabies? We pretty much fell all over ourselves scampering to the table and signing on the dotted line. When we found out how many other things will be happening at this event, it was impossible to have second thoughts. fotas blog FOOD There will definitely be no rumbly tumblys at this shindig, with breakfast by Ridgecrest Coffee Bar, lunch by Longhorn Steakhouse, and Par 3 apps by Travinia's Italian Kitchen and Ruby Tuesday. PRIZES Southern Bank & Trust and Hibbitts Drug Company will be providing golfer goody bags, and there will be awards to the winners, as well as a raffle or two! HELICOPTER BALL DROP After the awards ceremony, these guys have managed to partner up with PRIME Steakhouse, Chesterfield Interiors, Chesterfield Salon, First Communities, and Lathan C. Burns Memorial to organize a Helicopter Golf Ball Drop! Golf balls are $10/ticket to match a corresponding ball, then the whole load of them will be dropped from a helicopter, and the first ball to drop into a hole wins it's "owner" a cool grand! And of course, GOLF (AND A HOLE IN ONE CAR) With four-player teams, the players will get to enjoy the beautiful greens of Houndslake Country Club on a gorgeous late summer Monday! All this hoopla appealed to our competitive nature, and we had to join the fun, so we added a little swing to our play with a Hole In One Car! On a PAR 3 hole, if a player gets a hole-in-one, we will give them a car. Simply put, because we just can't complicate a cause as good as this one!   For more information on this event, which occurs on September 14, 2015, visit the events page at fotas.com For more information on F.O.T.A.S. and how you can get involved with their organization, visit their website here. We hope to see you guys at this awesome cause, having a great time, and saving some puppies all at the same time!   Meet Boomer, who was adopted earlier this month with the help of F.O.T.A.S.

TrueCar

Milton Ruben Stores are Now TrueCar Verified!

Online and in email surveys, we’re constantly reading about how shocked people are by how simple the car-buying process is nowadays. While we attribute a large part of this industry shift to our salespeople and finance managers, we have to give kudos where kudos it due. The internet has changed car sales, and we think it’s for the better. TrueCar was invented with the singular purpose to reinvent how people buy a vehicle. With info collected from dealerships, TrueCar posts what real, living, breathing people have paid for their car. We’re the only Verified TrueCar Dealership in the CSRA, but we join a nation-wide team of more than 10,000 dealerships who have committed to transparency and ease through TrueCar. Even brands like USAA, AAA, Consumer Reports and American Express use TrueCar to inform their members. In fact, the average person who uses TrueCar when purchasing a vehicle saves $3,221 off of MSRP. Here’s how it works: Start with the brand and model of vehicle, as well as the zip code that you’re looking to buy in. Customize features like color and trim level, if desired, and then get a breakdown of the average price, and how it compares to MSRP. You’ll also find general information about vehicle features, and can compare different models and brands. Like the numbers you see? Print ‘em out! The best part about us being a verified TrueCar dealer is that we’ll honor their prices on all in-stock vehicles. It’s just another way that we’re finding you the best price possible in the easiest, most hassle-free way possible.

Come to Milton Ruben Toyota's Trunk or Treat!

You’d never expect it, but we love Halloween over at Milton Ruben Toyota. You can hear us in the halls, planning costumes and decorations. We’ve got candy stashed all over the dealership for our employees, if they know where to find it (hint: you can’t go wrong in Parts), and our customers can even find a lollipop pumpkin or two in our Service Drive. We’re determined to celebrate the holiday all month long, but nothing will compare to the Trunk or Treat we have planned for Friday, the 30th. Join us for an exciting family event on the afternoon before Halloween. Employees and customers are welcome to bring children of all ages to the Toyota Service Drive between 4 and 6 p.m. Kids will go home with lots of treats and snacks, and may realize that some of their favorite television, movie and story characters actually work for Milton Ruben Toyota. We encourage families to come in costume, because we will have a photo booth, complete with props, as well as a costume contest. Kids, you’ll want to impress with your costume, because the contest will feature a very special guest judge! Over here, we’re focused on treats, not tricks. Let’s make Halloween a big party with goofy, bumbling monsters and a super hero or two. Parents, there’s no need to RSVP to this event. For questions, please call the dealership at (706) 868-5454. We’ll see you there!
