Hey folks - this just in. Apparently the Toys for Tots program in Utah is short on marines this year to help them with this very worthy and important service project... With so many of Utah's marines serving in the war, they are having a difficult time with distribution of toys.
Read below to see how you can help.
Happy Holidays!

**********
The United States Marine Corps Reserve in Utah is in dire need of volunteers to help out with this year's annual US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Campaign.
90% of the Marine force in Utah is busy this holiday season. 180 Marines currently deployed in Iraq and another 100 busy training for their 2008 deployment means that there are not enough Marines in Utah to pick up and distribute toys.
The Marines are very short staffed for the distribution weeks and need your help. They especially need some people that speak Spanish to assist with translation.
Round up your family and friends and join the US Marines for a grand holiday experience.
Please, cut and paste this post and email to anyone you know who can make the time to do a little with the men and women who do so much.
