1999 Toys for Tots Drive
Another Successful Year
By Diane Carpenter, Dept. Secretary

1999 was another successful year for the Town of Vernon Volunteer Firefighters Association Toys for Tots Drive.  Thanks to the efforts of many, we were able to deliver mainly new toys to 410 children from 187 families.  Thanks to the Fire Police Company for managing the used toy pick ups and to the members who diligently sorted all toys.  The magnitude of this event would not be possible without the assistance given by so many members of the community.  In 1999 we received monetary and new toy assistance from the following locations:

Carr's Radiator Service
Courthouse Plus
Damon's of Vernon
Dowding, Moriarty & Dimmock
Furnace Brokers, Inc.
General Tax Services
Johnnies Mobile
Kar-Kare Autobody
King Associates, Inc.
Maple Garage
New England Pizza & Restaurant
Panda Palace
Professional Carpet Systems
Pue, Liebowitz & Chick
Rein's Deli
Rockville Elk's Lodge
Rockville High School - National Honor Society
St. Bernard's Church
Santini Homes
Savings Bank of Rockville
Smith Brothers Insurance
Tire Town
Tri-Town Lube
Vincent's Pharmacy
Wolff-Zackin & Associates

Additionally, delivery of these toys would be much more difficult without the donated trucks that were received from Thrall's Garage, Ryder Truck Rental, and Sanford & Hawley.
The independent businesses support our efforts year after year, please remember to visit these locations when you, personally, are in need of products or services.  We all can be more successful if we help each other!
