| ULLRS SUPPORT TOYS FOR TOTS For many years ULLRs have donated toys and cash to the Marine Toys for Tots program. This year, in addition to all the books, games, dolls, cars, craft sets, and stuffed animals, ULLRs donated $290 in cash at the ULLR Holiday Ball. Thanks, too, to the thirteen ULLRs and two guests who helped at the Toys for Tots warehouse on December 15. When we first arrived, we didn’t see many toys and wondered if there was anything for us to do, but the Marines soon had all of us moving boxes of new toys, breaking down the empty boxes, and sorting and packing toys for different age groups. Challenges included remembering to count the number of toys placed in each box and arranging toys in a box so that long baseball bats would fit! We also had fun seeing and handling all the toys. Because there were two other groups helping at the warehouse, our work was completed early and a few of us enjoyed refreshments at Houlihan’s. Through actual donations of toys and cash plus working at the Toys for Tots warehouse, ULLRs once again have brightened the lives of many children this Christmas. |
