IF YOU CAN,REMEMBER
THE ONES WHO CAN’T

The 2009 Flotilla For Toys Boat Parade was comprised of 22 decorated boats with 225 people aboard. A number of toys were donated by participants, spectators and area residents — toys are still coming in. Check back for updated numbers.

The drop boxes will remain in the businesses through December 19. So you can still drop off toys. If you have a “Boat Load” of toys that need to be picked up please call Lake Christian Ministries at 540-297-3214 or 540-721-3492
