My classes are heading up Toys for Tots at my school. We are hoping to get a good amount of participation from the students and staff. I will keep the club updated on how everything is going.

The Ga Bounty Runners are on officially (and confirmed) on board. they expect 15-20 rigs and 40-50 people with room to grow.

SOLAROS is also on board, I'll confirm it in the next week or two. Then of course the UC guys, head count yet to be determined but hopefully we can get one.

You guys better get busy buying toys

I'm in and will most likely be there with the whole screaming family.

I don't know if UC really has a grasp on Toys for Tots. Could you do a writeup on what is expected of us?

No problem.

The purpose obviously is to donate toys to kids in need. I believe Toys for Tots says they want/need unwrapped toys for boys and girls from ages 12 and under. Their site doesn't really say much about what types of toys to donate so I'll just let our 2008 pictures tell the story.

We're not asking folks to spend a lot of money, last year I think I spent about $25-30. A lot of folks go to places like the Dollar store and Big Lots where toys are plentiful and affordable.

Glad you guys are going to make.

This information might help....

Q : What kinds of toys are not allowed?
A : Toys with military theme. Toys related to weapons/law enforcement type toys. Toys with candy. Used toys. No chemicals (i.e. experimental labs, acid, crystal projects, etc.). The Toys For tots program do not allow these toys. The Toys For Tots of the Marine Corps reserve will not distribute toys fitting this description that are donated to the program to children. Instead, these toys will be donated to another charity organization.

Ted,
Are there any options to drop off toys? Melissa has a tournament that weekend so I am looking for some drop off options.

Thanks

Rick,
Thanks. You won't get 'credit' for it via Publix, but filling the need is the point.
