Toys for Tots: apply now, donate now
Although the idea originated at Hamilton City Hall, the staff had no idea the friendly competition to collect the most toys would come with $100 for the location winner until the newspaper notified them. Shown helping to promote the program “so kids can win” are, from left, new city zoning clerk/receptionist Tina Brewer, municipal court clerk Jeannye Palmer, receptionist/magistrate Crystal Johnson, Toys for Tots USMCR League Coordinator Marlon Holloway, water department clerk Tina Yarber, administrative assistant Amy Nix and city clerk Angela Owen.
HAMILTON — The idea of a friendly, bragging-rights competition between businesses regarding who collects the most Toys for Tots this year has evolved into someone donating $100 cash to make the toy collecting even more beneficial.
“The kids are the big winners here,” noted City of Hamilton Recept-ionist/Magistrate Crystal Johnson.
Johnson and several other city employees helped the Journal Record with the promo photograph for the Toys for Tots kickoff, and we are grateful. Good luck to them and to all the
other participating businesses.
