Fleet Reserve Association - Celebrate Christmas and Donate to Toys for Tots
The Sierra-Tahoe Branch and Ladies Auxiliary Unit #137 of the Fleet Reserve Association held their Annual Christmas Party at Jethro’s Oven - Grill, Gardnerville. The food was plentiful and enjoyed by everyone, along with fabulous yummy desserts prepared by Brenda Horton, President of the Ladies Auxiliary. A big thank you to Larry Knack and Rick Athenour for arranging the event.
Wonderful raffle prizes were donated by local stores, including a $100 Walmart gift card. Thank you to Sue Higgins for securing the raffle prizes and displaying them so nicely.
The attendees choose to donate cash to Toys For Tots rather than exchange gifts. Over $295 was collected at the event, in addition to 52 toys that were also donated (valued at an estimated $650). Therefore, a total of $945 was donated to Toys for Tots this year. Thank you to everyone that contributed and to Carol and Rick Athenour for toy shopping and turning the dollars into memories.
