Toy Drive now 12/3/08 through *Thursday* 12/18/08



GSA is helping our first year medical students with their toy drive. We are
in need  of toys for children (ages of  2-16yrs, with the majority ranging
from 2-9yrs). Please bring your *unwrapped gift* to the GSA office Commons
203.  They don't have to be fancy or expensive a barbie, a soccer ball, or a
cool educational book.....would be perfect gifts!!! Also, if anyone has any
used books that would suite this age range, any old soccer/athletic
equipment, or old toys to donate to the Community Center (Renacimiento or
Rebirth), this would also be greatly appreciated.  The children you will be
helping are come from broken homes and anything that we do will make a HUGE
DIFFERENCE to these children. The toys will be distributed at an event on
December 19th, *donations* for this party are welcomed. For further details
please refer to: *http://www.dailybulletin.com/neighborhoodwatch/ci_3885659*

There will be boxes at the GSA office and the deadline is *December 18th at
5 pm*.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Evita Limon
