| ULLR Elves Help at Toys for Tots Warehouse Thirteen ULLR elves helped sort and box toys at the Toys for Tots warehouse on Monday, December 17. Toys are picked up from a gigantic pile, sorted into bins by age and gender, and packed into boxes that the Marines distribute to non-profit organizations. Families then get toys and stocking-stuffers from the non-profits. If you ever wonder what toys to select as gifts for any children, this is the place to come. The donated toys range from a simple deck of cards as a stocking-stuffer to sleds and electronic games. It is fun to see the variety and the reactions of warehouse volunteers who often see something that reminds them of a toy they themselves had as a child. Helping at the warehouse is definitely an aerobic exercise experience that causes participants to desperately want refreshments after work. The ULLR elves did just that at nearby Pizza Luce where special beers, pizzas, and sandwiches were enjoyed by the group. Earlier ULLRs donated 15 bags of toys and $375 at the November General Meeting and at the Holiday Ball. That generosity helped provide Christmas toys for children who otherwise might not have gotten any. Thanks ULLRs! |
