Hi all,
Along with the Red Cross donations
matched by LEGO, we also wanted to develop a more personal giving
opportunity. Huge numbers of families have lost everything in the hurricane
and subsequent flooding. Since a large fraction of these have ended up in
the Texas area, Anthony Sava (TexLUG member, Lugnet member, CC Admin, and
Houston resident) has offered to act as a collection point for a LEGO toy
drive. Here’s the plan - you buy a LEGO set and send it to Anthony in the
next couple of weeks; he’ll gather these together and bring them to the
Houston chapter of the Red Cross, who are distributing supplies to hurricane
victims. If you are unable to mail a set, he will also take in PayPal
payments and use that money to buy more sets. For addresses, please contact
Anthony at savatheaggie-AT-ev1-DOT-net
We all know how fun it is to open a new LEGO set. Let’s share that fun with
some kids who could use a little joy these days.
Please spread this message to other LEGO fans through other forums, LUGs,
etc.
Thanks,
Bruce Hietbrink

Bruce,
It’s good to see this happening. I will be sending information next month about
donating Christmas toys to Toys for Tots - I’d be doing that now, but my inquiry
to TfT was answered by a request to wait until mid-October.
