All attendants are urged to also bring an UNWRAPPED toy to donate to the Marine’s Toys For Tots Organization. All contributions are distributed to a lesser privileged Cape Cod Youngster! Last year the club hosted over fifty holiday attendees and donated a pile of toys to the Marines and this very worthwhile organization. Members are urge to make contributions for the kids even if they cannot attend the Christmas Party. No kid should ever have a lesser Christmas if we can do our own part to help!
Until next month…Bob P. |
