2004 Alabama Toy Drive

The Toy Drive was a success!  Rebekah, WG4Y and many of her new friends helped to make the holiday season a little better for children in south Alabama left in the path of Hurricane Ivan!  On December 18th Rebekah took two truck loads of donated toys to Baldwin county.  Several club members from the Baldwin county ARC met us and helped unload the toys. Later that afternoon we took a tour of the devastation on Orange Beach.
