Toy Deliveries to YFS - Plaza Drive - Rapid City - Dec 6, 2016

Congratulations and thanks to you all for a super job on Saturday packing toys.  I brought home a small box of leftover toys - maybe 18 or so.  The rest of the 2400 + toys were packed and tagged for delivery.

If you would like to help deliver toys to kids at Youth and Family Services, please meet at the Club for Boys Shop tomorrow - Tuesday at 8:30 am - we will load the toys for YFS and deliver them by 9 am to the Plaza Drive YFS.  They normally bring the kids into the meeting area one class at a time so that each child can pick a toy.  Lots of fun to see the kids faces and see how they react!  

Hope to see you Tuesday.   Bob B
