Good  afternoon Troop / Crew 777

               During our PLC and Troop Meetings this week we decided instead of doing a gift exchange next Tuesday we would do a collection of gifts for Toys For Tots.  We thought there might be more kids in need this year due to the current Pandemic.  This would be a great opportunity for our Troop to make a positive impact within our community. 

Some of the details are below:

• Drop off gifts at 919 Whitegate Drive Northville MI  48167.  Drop off dates will be Tuesday (Dec 15^th) and Thursday (Dec 17^th) anytime during that day.  We will have a few gray storage totes beside our garage door and you can place the gifts in there for contactless delivery!
• Target age is between 1 to 12 years old.  Something you would normally pickup in the toy isle at Target and/or Walmart.  Target price range is $10 to $20 for your donation.  Ultimately whatever you feel comfortable with. 
• Gifts would be new in box or wrapping (no used gifts please) and no need to wrap them.  Currently they do not need Barbies, Basketballs, Baby Rattles or Crafts.  However, all of the other options are open.  They will pair the gifts together so that things are distributed appropriately. 
• I will plan to deliver the gifts to the Northville Police Department on Friday (Dec 18^th) or Saturday (Dec 19^th). 
• We will still plan to meet virtually this Tuesday (Dec 15^th).  We won’t be meeting on Dec 22^nd or Dec 29^th.  I hope that everyone enjoys the holidays! 

A special thanks to Joe Walker for the suggestion and Emily Creedon for contacting Toys For Tots and getting all the details above. 

Thanks for your help in advance and I look forward to supporting our local community during this time of the year. 

Best wishes!
