All residents and their guests ….

All residents and their guests are invited. Entrance is free, but each attendee must bring a new, unwrapped toy—no stuffed animals.

Toys can also be dropped off at the Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 3 at Veterans Plaza. The festivities will include complimentary cookies and hot beverages. Santa and his elves will be on hand to collect the loot for the kids.

GRF is thrilled to support the Brown Descents Car Club Association again this year. It collected toys for over 500 kids at last year’s event and members are hoping to top that this year. The club is a 501(c)3 charity that collects toys for local youth and provides scholarships to disadvantaged teens.
