Recently the Ivy Inn, in association with members of the United States Marine Corps, held its second annual Toys for Tots drive. Toys for Tots is a national campaign that collects toys for families of children less fortunate than ours. This year we were able to collect approximately $2,500 worth of toys for these children. In addition, we were able to raise about $800 in cash to go toward even more toys. These are impressive figures in the current economic climate.
I want to thank our loyal customers who took their time and gave of themselves to make a difference in the Christmas of our less fortunate youth. I especially want to thank one customer in particular who went above and beyond: Jason G. In memory of his grandparents, Norman and Etta Barr, he showed us graciously what giving is all about.
Too often we get caught up in our day to day to stop and reflect on the true meaning of the holidays. So, on behalf of the Ivy Inn and those members of the USMC involved, a resounding thank-you and a Merry Christmas.
