Notes from the MAMA President:
Next month is our annual Toy for Tots drive.
Why would we do that in November? It's all about timing.
You see, our December meeting frequently falls within one
week of Christmas day, which means it is too late to get
the donated toys to the drop-of center in time for collection
by the Marines and distribution to the kids for whom they
are intended. Besides, we need all the table space we can
get for the Holiday Pot-Luck Feast that we hold during our
December meetings.
MAMA members are some of the most generous
people there are. Your gifts are greatly appreciated by
everyone involved from those who transport and distribute
them to the kids who receive them. You make a difference
in children's lives.
Two years ago the club filled my station
wagon with so many toys that I couldn't even see out the
rear view mirror. Last year, you all did it again. There
were so many toys each time that we filled the drop-off
center's donation boxes in roughly five minutes (last year
they were ready for us and had extra boxes on-hand to set
up so other people could donate toys, too.)
This year I dare you all to over-stuff
my car with toys. No, I triple-dog-dare you (yeah, yeah,
breach of etiquette, but I still triple-dog-dare you) to
bring so many toy donations that we will have to use at
least two vehicles to haul them all to the drop-off center.
That's my challenge to this club.
As always, when selecting items to donate,
please keep in mind that these donations wil go to girls
and boys in families that likely cannot afford to buy batteries.
So please lean toward toys and games that do not need batteries.
The October Theme of the Month Table had
a good number of Model T's displayed this month.Model T's.
Next month's theme will be NOVAs. This will be open
to include any plastic, resin, or 3D printed Chevrolet Nova,
Oldsmobile Omega, Pontiac Ventura, and Buick
Apollo model cars.
