Dear Valued Customer,

It is time once again to remember the thousands of children who would not celebrate the season without the selfless efforts of the U.S. Marines and the wonderful folks at TOYS FOR TOTS.

This year, Herb Connolly Chevrolet is once again a primary drop point for your donation. As always, we are featuring a new pickup truck in our showroom where you can drop off your donation of NEW, UNWRAPPED, NON-VIOLENT TOYS for children up to 16 years old. The people at Toys For Tots have requested that donations be made prior to December 18, 2011, so that they have time to wrap and distribute the toys.

Toys for Tots began in 1947 when Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR, and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children. The initial pilot program was so successful that the Marine Corps adopted Toys for Tots in 1948 and expanded it into a nationwide program.

Over the 62 years of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, Marines have distributed more than 400 million toys to more than 188 million needy children. This charitable endeavor has made U.S. Marines the unchallenged leader in looking after less fortunate children at Christmas. Over its 18 year life span, the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation has supplemented local toy collections with more than 81.3 million toys valued at more than $487 million; plus has provided promotion and support materials valued at over $6.3 million.

Each of the last three years Herb Connolly Chevrolet has been able to collect four truckloads of toys. We would love to exceed that amount, as we anticipate even greater need this year. Please help us to help others.

We hope you and your family have a happy and safe holiday season!

Sincerely,

Adam Connolly

President
