Thread Name: BS: What did you get
Subject: RE: BS: What did you get
Kat's post had a message that we could all pick up on. How hard could it be to start right after New Years day promoting the following thought among coworkers and family, and anybody else we can think of:

THE THOUGHT

If you could get each person you contact to supply one toy a month. If each person bought a $5 toy that would mean $60 over the course of 12 months. Most of us could swing that. (in my case there are about 15 coworkers, and 6 family members as a base group. That's 21 pieces per month X 12 = 252 toys)

When the space becomes critical, one could find someone with a rental storage facility that has room, or maybe get a local business involved and donate some space.

Then, next November, contact a local service organization to donate the toys for needy kids. OR - arrange to go to a local youth facility and hand them out ourselves. The small effort would produce great results, for ALL

Think about it!
