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

Just a suggestion on making your LEGO giving to farther... Check out the green
tag sale at TRU. Over the past week, Mark Sandlin and I have found around 100
X-Pods at 2 bucks a pop. (Plus some clickits and Bionicle sets too) These are
already going to some kids in Georgia Shelters, but it does spread the love out
a bit. The good thing about the X-Pods is portablility and storage for those in
shelters who might be moving around.
Just my 2 cents. Everybody be a cheerful giver.

Excellent suggestion! I’ll have to tell my wife about this. Hopefully she’ll
have time tomorrow to check out the local TRU. If she finds any, I’ll suggest
she get a dozen or so.
