In the Cedar Valley, distribution of the toys won't be until the 12th to the 15th. As there were only positive responses to changing the date (thus avoiding Thanksgiving travel), this event will now be held on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4 AT 7:00.

Please bring a new, unwrapped toy, a snack to share and join us for the second Meet-up donation party for the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation! Join us at our house (address to be send to "Yes" RSVPs about a week before the event). We will have games to entertain us as well!

Information about Toys for Tots below and at the website:

MISSION:
The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

GOAL:
The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
