As the Holiday Season approaches, we tend to spend more time in retail stores, outlets, and grocery stores tending to the needs of our own families. This year, let us all make a conscience effort to remember all of the blessings we have and share with those less fortunate. One way to do this, is to find the closest Toys For Tots dropoff location and give something to those in need. Here is the upcoming schedule of events for anyone willing to participate:
Tuesday the 6th of December – Junior League Christmas and Social Toy Drive.
Wednesday the 7th of December – Niceville Chamber Breakfast 7:30 at the Community Center –All members are asked to bring a toy.
Thursday the 8thth of December – BIA Christmas Party and Toys for Tots Drive, the EOD Color Guard will be attending.
