Thanks for the link. There isn’t a TFT center within 100 miles so I made a cash donation in stead.

Done and done - in addition to a generous contribution to the Salvation Army

Thanks for the reminder!

[hsalaw]

Done, with a financial donation.

[Trueblackman]

Yes it is!

Our dance group does a benefit every year.

Last nights take...140 New Toys and $423.00.

Nice job evad. We do one as well. I've had the curse and (mostly) blessing of directing it the most recent seven of its 33 years.

It's rewarding to be a part of something really good.

I hope TBM will be able to to generate some response with his calls.

Do you know when the deadline for this year is? We normally adopt a family or 2 through the local Guard FA program....but they were horribly non-committal and seriously lacked communication this year......leaving us high-dry. We’re looking to buy a truckload o’ stuff for SOMEone’s kids.

Try http:www.toysfortots.org for deadline information.

Cool. Who wouldn’t want to give a toy to a Marine in his dress uniform?

Last minute bump. AMD and I dropped off a new 20 inch bike at the recruiting station Monday. There are good deals out there a week before Christmas and you can make a kids Christmas.

[RedRover]

You’re welcome! Hope the troop enjoys it.

Thanks for the bump and the Maines at HQ were so nice to take the many bags I brought in after hours and even this morning watched over my ladies car as I ran the last bag in.

Marines may be trained killers and the best of the best in war, but they have the biggest hearts when it comes to kids.
