Hi Rob, Hi Everyone,

The Toys For Tots collection has been on our minds as well, and we've
talked about this here at home.  Rob's idea is a good one!  We can get a
couple of boxes if it isn't too late.  We definitely have one box reserved.
And a plain box will work for a location if need be.

Kory and I can still make sure boxes are at 1 or 2 locations, and we can
pick them up to return them to Toys for Tots.  Their routine is different
this year with Covid; i.e. the boxes are to be picked up at a location
different from the Aurora warehouse, and we'll double check on the drop off
location.

We don't have a decent computer at home.  We can't do the meeting by Zoom
because the computer shuts down at will!  So I'm asking if Rob will bring
this up at the meeting and let us know what you all decide.

Toys must be turned in no later than December 18, so we'd want to get the
boxes ASAP and get them filled in time to pick them up and return them to
Toys for Tots.

Toys are needed for all ages.  As always, do not wrap them.

Please keep us up to date when there is information so that we can do our
part.

Thank you!  Wishing everyone the best holidays you can possibly have.

Gail and Kory
