You know what is cool to me, looking at the number of replies to this thread, is the number of people in the koi world willing to DO SOMETHING, whatever they can, to help others and the community.

Toys for tots puts smiles and joy in many thousands of poor children's lives every year.

ZNA NorCal and Santa Clara Valley Koi and Watergarden Club will be collecting toys for the kids this coming holiday season.

I will take this as an action item for my ZNA Norcal Club. Jim thanks for the idea, I hope my ZNA SoCal friends will do the same this coming holiday season. I hope Jim can do the same with his ZNA Potomac Club too..... Tony.

So are we on or what? ZNA Potomac will be collecting them at our December meeting. The toys should new and unwrapped. You can find a drop off location here. http://www.toysfortots.org/

I think we can get the ZNA SoCal involved....As a ZNA member I would like to get all ZNA clubs to donate time in collecting toys for the cause....What is a $10 toy to the several hundred dollars one might spend this coming Oct harvest.

I think it is time to PROMOTE the hobby and this is one of the best ways to promote the hobby.
