dr_vandermeer Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) Now that Thanksgiving is over, I thought I'd take a quick moment to remind people about Toys for Tots and what a great program it is. http://www.toysfortots.org/home/ I believe the last day to donate is Dec 22nd. Thanks and Happy Holidays. Edited November 29, 2004 by dr_vandermeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallet21 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I've made it a holiday tradition lately to donate something 'Macrossy' for the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodcat Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I donated last year, but money is REAL tight this year. Im still gonna try though. Its one of the few charities I genuinely like. The one toy a kid gets now could mean a lifetime of difference in the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) Oooh!!! TOTS! Misread the second letter in the last word...*decides to keep toys... ROFLMAO! If only it was the vowel before eh? A penny for your "tots", but how many valks you'd give away? Edited November 30, 2004 by wolfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I've donated every year since my freshman year of college, very good program, my sister keeps telling me to donate my valks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriko Takaya Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I've been donating toys and money to this organization ever since I first joined the Corps back in '83. I'm glad someone here brought it up. Everyone I work with dreads when I bring in the old steel pot to collect for the children every year, but they know it's for a good cause. Semper Fi to all my Marine Brothers out there who have kept this program alive for so long, and thanks to those civies and other military folk who care also.

Southpaw Samurai Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 You know....all this talk of potentially subverting kids to Macross with some kind of Valkyrie gift got me thinking. At work we have a 'giving tree' (gotta avoid any religion-specific descriptions) where some local Twin Cities poor children were wish for something and place it on a card and we can take cards off the tree and try to best match their wish within about a $20 price range (pretty sad when you think about it if a kid was creative with their wish). I'm going to go look tomorrow and cheat a bit and read as many as I can without getting caught. If one of them asks for a plane, a robot, or a Transformer, I think I'll grab that card and then dig out one of my old spare boxed Yamato 1/60s to donate. Hopefully the kid won't be too young and break it immediately. I won't even feel bad about breaking the cost ceiling because I would've paid nothing (this year) to buy it. Best to share the love. Too bad I was never interested in getting any of the chunky monkey re-releases as they would make better gifts for a kid of undetermined age. I do have an extra MPC or two, but I wouldn't give that to the most hated person on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
