I just got home and added the haul up. $286 in cash 2 checks: 1 for $100 1 for $10 14 toys The $100 check is made out directly to Toys for Tots, so I sent an email to the local coordinator asking who to forward it to. I have a pm sent out to Moby Clarke, whose wife works at Target, to possibly use her employee discount when buying the toys. I will update here when the toys are purchased and again when they are delivered. Thanks to everyone for their generosity. |

I'm still thinking someone shows up at KARE11 for the toy drive with 300 red ryder bb guns. |

Thanks Reaver3 for grabbing ahold of that and running. It was great to have everyone donating so much, and I was really heartened by how many people stepped up to the plate to help out. Everyone showed a great deal of class with the donations. Thanks you! |

I showed up just as you left, Jeff. I got some funny looks carrying around a Hunter Dan crossbow in the bar. I still have it if anyone can swing by Bill's to pick it up .. or I could bring it over to KARE-11. PM me if either of these work? |

Moby Clarke and I met at Target tonight at 5:00. Using his wife's discount, we managed to purchase $305 worth of toys, concentrating on the upper end of the age group, as that was what the Marines said they needed most. I then delivered the toys to the pickup at Lifetime Fitness on 98th Street in Bloomington. I think I broke their container Ahh, screw it, I can't figure out how to get a picture up, I just threw a copy up on my blog. You can view it there if you wish. As soon as they get in touch with me, I will forward the $100 check that someone put in the bag, as it is made out directly to Toys For Tots. Thanks to everyone for their generosity. |

Outstanding. Thank you to Reaver and Moby. It was a good feeling to see people so willing to give to others less fortunate. |
