This is my final post about toy drive until it is complete (and at which time
I’ll post pics of the final ‘pile’ and the delivery).
I had to ecavuate for Hurricane Rita, but there’s still a toy drive! Had I not
had to evacuate, I would have posted for final call for donations.
However, that time has passed. Waiting much longer for donations will delay
this toy drive further than it needs to be.
If you have a donation in transit, please, email me and let me know. I’ve
recieved 4 boxes thus far.
All told, I’ve had only about 20 participants in total. Fortunately, for the
sake of the community, those 20 or so participants donated very very generously,
and I’ve been able to gather a modest pile of donations.
Most of the participants have donated money, and so I’ve been doing my best to
buy what I could. Even while I was evacuated to Texarkana, Arkansas, I visited
the local TRU and was able to take advantage of a huge pile of green tagged, buy
two get one free, X-pods (effectively $1.33 each). I also was able to pick up
over the last few weeks some duplo, jack stone pirates, and some other random
sets, even including discount bionicle and clickits.
If you haven’t already sent your donation, unless you can get it to me VERY
quickly, I’m afraid its too late.
If you want to donate money, there’s still (VERY LITTLE) time. There isn’t much
to speak of left, here in Houston, but I’ll do my best to hunt it down.
To all of the people who have donated: Thank you so very very much. You will
be making a few kids very very happy. I won’t name names, so you’ll have to
stand up and take a bow on your own.
--Anthony

| Hi all, Along with the (URL) 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 (...) (19 years ago, 13-Sep-05, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.people, FTX) !!
