Toys for Tots- Supporting the holidays
Since many families struggle financially during the holiday season, and this year has additional challenges, the Board has voted to donate the $250 (usually given to our Holiday program entertainment) to the Toys for Tots program. There are many worthy charities that would welcome donations this year, but we hope this small gift to Toys for Tots helps a family enjoy the holidays with a little less stress.
