Brethren,
As you may remember, we set a goal in September to fill two of the “Toys for Tots” donation boxes for Christmas 2015. Never did we think we would fill nearly five!!! – but as of Friday evening December 11, 2015 that is exactly what we had done. Because of the cash and new toys donated by you, we were able to turn over close to if not a little over $1,000 worth of toys to the Portsmouth Fire Department. Our many thanks to all those brethren and family members who made this year’s drive one of our most successful ever!!!!!

Toys stretched the entire length of our auditorium stage!
