About Toys for Tots
The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program collects new, unwrapped toys and distributes those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. The goal of the Toys for Tots Program is to send a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters and help them become responsible, productive, patriotic citizens. For more information, visit www.ToysforTots.org.

The Toys for Tots Program accepts new, unwrapped toys. They also accept gift cards and money donations. Money donated is used to purchase toys for age groups that are in need.

The Toys for Tots Program provides toys for kids between 0 - 15 years old. Each year, there is a shortage of toys for the teens.

In an effort to help fill the need, we've compiled a list of toy options for teens. Another great way to get ideas is to ask a teenager in your life what they would enjoy.

Here's a unique and unusual Holiday Event..

The Wayzata Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the first annual Young Professionals Ugly Sweater Restaurant Crawl on December 2nd, from 4:30 to 7 p.m.

The crawl starts at the Wayzata Muni (Municipal Pub and Restaurant) and then moves to Sunsets on Wayzata Bay, winding up at Northcoast. And after a few cocktails at each locale, one must wonder if anyone will even be able to determine whose sweater is ugliest. With three or four martinis under one's belt, most ugly sweaters would probably look pretty good to the average person!

The Wayzata Chamber seems to be marketing the "Ugly Sweater Restaurant Crawl" as a business networking event. I wonder how many local young professionals will be rummaging through west suburban thrift shops during the coming weeks, searching for that ideal ugly sweater.

The December weather on Lake Minnetonka may be chilly, but don't worry, you'll have your ugly sweater to keep you nice and warm as you move from one restaurant to the next.

Prizes will be awarded for the most tacky-looking holiday sweater. The mind boggles, trying to imagine what that will look like. I've seen some loud sweaters, with Santa posed next to an oversized Rudolph, or orange-and-purple embroidered carolers. So I know some really ugly sweaters are out there.

So dig through your closets and rummage around in all those sweater drawers, until you find that garish, hideously ugly sweater that you never got around to donating to Goodwill. It just might earn you a prize on December 2nd.

The Wayzata Chamber website says, "Prizes will be awarded for the ugliest, tackiest, most henious holiday sweater...and it won't be fruitcake!"

If you want to get in on this fun and unique networking event, you'll have to RSVP to the Wayzata Chamber office by November 30th.
