Approximately 175 toys were contributed over the 2 days.

$400. in cash/checks were given in support of the program.

This past weekend considerable publicity was given for the shortfall in toys. Businesses and individuals responded dramatically, and most of the shortage has been made up.

Thanks for all the support from DMH Rotary. All of our Marine guests were very impressed by our Club and its varied activities.,
