was a great success in collecting over

BIG TOY DRIVE at Sports Haven
where they raised over $80000.00
worth of toys to give to the area
agencies to help the less fortunate
during the Christmas Holiday. The
scouts that helped to bring the toys to
Sports Haven had the opportunity to
meet Doug Grey from the Marshall

Badge. The scouts will have this toy
drive and train show on Nov. 24, 2007
