Toy Workshop (TWS2024-26) 11-23-2024

Just a quick note - we are having our last workshop of the year tomorrow (Workshop Number 26) - we have a bunch of toys to put wheels on (over 300) and the paddle games to finish.  We will hopefully have time at the end of the workshop to setup a few extra tables in preparation for our TOY DISTRIBUTION DAY set for Saturday Dec 7, 2024.  More about that in another email, but SAVE THE DATE - Dec 7, 2024, for toy packing and distribution day.  Hope to see you tomorrow!  Bob B
