Letter to the Editor: Toys for Tots

— On behalf of the Addison County Toys for Tots program, I would like to thank the community for their support during the 2011 toy drive campaign.

This year, we serviced 733 children in Addison County. We know from the smiles on the children's faces and from the grateful appreciation of their parents, that the simple gift of a shiny new toy -something that many take for granted- can make a tremendous difference in the life of a child. A new toy sends an important message to a needy child. It symbolizes hope, that someone cares, and that that child has not been forgotten.Thank you to all of the local businesses, families, and individuals that donated toys, made monetary contributions, and volunteered their time during the 2011 campaign. We live in a very special community and that is reflected in the success of our program, local people helping local families.

We look forward to the 2012 campaign.
