This year we held the Toy Drive on December 8, 2007. Henry offered the use of his parking lot again at the Empire Winery and Distillery. It was a beautiful day with a lot of Christmas shoppers. We provided free drinks and free hotdogs for guests. A reporter from the Laker came by to interview us. The toys are destined for Sheltering Arms in Ocala. That trip was on December 22 and will include a surprise "invasion" by the krewe.

	The day started beautiful and just got better. Henry was a great host.

Meet Tom Loughlin with Toy Makers (www.TheToyMakers.org) and some of the toys that his group makes and distributes to needy children. This was a big surprise and the kids are going to get a kick out of these.
