Deland Toyota Scion

Pandora integration comes to the 2012 Scion xB! http://aol.it/lfPVFO

Toyota feels that when coping with below-normal production levels, it's better to take a glass-half-full approach. As such, the Japanese automaker isn't sitting back leaving their employees to sit idly by consumed by worry. Rather, they're supporting, and even paying, employees to take time on no-production days to lend a helping hand with a variety of community service efforts.

For example, one-hundred-plus Toyota employees recently reported for "work" at the Golden Girl Group Home. Located in Wayne Country, West Virginia, the home offers asylum to teen girls removed from abusive situations. Toyota employees took a no-production day…

Local Organization, My Angel with Paws located in DeLand Florida is participating in Toyota's Program 100 Cars for Good.  Here is a little of information about My Angel with Paws shared from the Toyota Facebook page.  Visit  DeLand Toyota's website and link through our Facebook page for more information. 

About us:

My Angel with Paws is committed to expanding public understanding & knowledge of the needs of children & adults with disabilities through the rescuing, breeding, training, placement and continuing education of service dogs. In addition to over 90 tasks our service dogs perform, they also give emotional support & comfort to their partners. My Angel With Paws envisions that each service dog Angel placed with a partner share in a dignity afforded each other and at the end of their time together, both partners - dog and human - have had a better life because of the other. My Angel With Paws is 100% volunteer based and all of our Service Dogs are placed with their partners at no charge.

How we would use a new Toyota:

My Angel With Paws regularly needs to transport clients, their service dogs & puppies in training throughout the southeast safely and comfortably. We provide lifetime support to our clients & their dogs. We would be using this vehicle in our community, training & education programs to transport both dogs and equipment. We currently rely on our volunteers and other transportation means to accomplish this, which can be quite a challenge logistically and financially. Our new Toyota would alleviate our desperate need for a vehicle and enrich the lives of all concerned. My Angel with Paws, our clients & all of our Angels will be forever grateful to Toyota for this life changing gift. 

 

The earthquake, tsunami and subsequent power outages that struck northeastern Japan in March disrupted operations at all Japanese automaker facilities and damaged the plants of key parts suppliers. From March 11 to the end of May, vehicle production shortages jumped to 550,000 units in Japan and another 350,000 units overseas. After investigating the extent of the damage in the aftermath, Toyota projected they could increase operating levels from 50 percent to about 70-percent, in coming months and to 100 percent, hopefully by the end of the fourth quarter.

More recent projections, however, look much more optimistic. From March…
