TOYS FOR TOTS




We could not be more excited about the donations we have received from the people of this community for the "Toys for Tots" organization. We at Coldwell Banker have been overwhelmed with the generosity that has been shown by all of you who have donated. We have seen many people both young and old come through the door and drop off their toys. Some tell stories of why they picked what they picked or how much fun they had looking at all the toys and deciding which to buy.
The flood of childhood memories when they see the various toys has brought back a piece of their childhood for some agents. The stick horses, easy bake ovens, tractors and trains just go to show that memories of childhood gifts will last a lifetime.
In the gaining momentum of the "paying it forward" campaign it has been amazing to watch it unfold through the holiday season here in Manhattan.
I also must not forget another business in town who is adding their own touch to the "pay it forward" campaign. G. Thomas Jewelers developed their own way to continue the chain after they visited the local Starbucks this morning and were charged with continuation of the mission. View their Facebook page to see how they are doing it!
If you still have something to bring by come on over, there is still time
