Toys for Tots Prepares for the Holidays
 Bill Clark - PVNN
Once again it is the time of year when holidays are upon us Vallartans, the joyous sharing of presents, food and camaraderie with friends and family. It is also the time of the year for the final preparations for the Toys for Tots Vallarta Toy Distribution Program.
Those of you that have participated in the toy distribution in the past have realized the tremendous excitement and joy in the faces of the children that receive the toys. For many children it is the only toy they receive for the holidays.
We want to thank all of you that have participated in past years in the distribution of toys; also for the contributions of money, time and materials for this very worthwhile program. You and your friends are invited to help bring the program of Toys for Tots Vallarta to a conclusion for this year.
Because of your generous donations and those of friends and associates and on behalf of our major sponsors, Toys for Tots Vallarta have ordered approximately 13,000 toys. We invite you to join in the celebration of The Three Kings and distribution of the toys to children in schools in poor neighborhoods.
The following activities will take place:
1. Begin blowing up balls and separate all toys into routes: Monday, January 5, 2009, 11 am - Main Ballroom of the Marriott Hotel. We have four air compressors, but need more to for the blowing-up of balls: continuous air compressors are needed.
2. Toy distribution: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 7 am - Parking lot of the Marriott Hotel. Toys for Tots Vallarta will need trucks or vans that have covers for some of the routes.
If you are going to caravan on the distribution routes, you should bring water and a snack. Depending on the route, four-wheel drive vehicles might be necessary. Once we finalize the route leaders, we will send you their names and contact information so you can plan what route you will join and what the requirements will be vehicle and time-wise.
Come and join Toys for Tots Vallarta for the preparation and distribution! It will be time well spent!
Best Regards and Happy Holidays!

 On January 7, 2008, approximately 12,000 toys were distributed by volunteers to children in small towns and colonias throughout the Puerto Vallarta and southern Nayarit area. Take a look at some photos from last year to see the smiles you could help bring to the faces of these children by participating this year's event. |
