This is the third year for our involvement for "Toys for Tots" toy drive.  Last year we collected about 500 toys.  This year we hope to collect 750.  But with this tough economy, who knows.  

We do know, their are more children without this year, and maybe we can help a few of them!

You can't go forward looking back!

Thank You David.

Over 400 and counting.  Taking the first load up to 29 Palms on Tuesday.  Still hope to reach 750 to 1000.  I will keep you posted.

Presents are smaller this year.  But the toy count comimg in is great.  Most of the "Tots"  will not know the difference.
