Nov. '09 Toys For Tots

Help Make the Holidays
a Little Brighter with Toys for Tots

I moved to Lewisburg from Pittsburgh almost 15 years ago. The decision to move was an easy one. I was just out of dental school, newly married and looking for a place to practice dentistry and raise my family. One visit to Lewisburg, and I knew I was home.

Over the years, I've become more and more involved in this wonderful community, from sponsoring the annual pet parade to hosting the Winans' Triathlon for Kids.

Now with the holidays approaching, I wanted to do something for the kids in Lewisburg and the surrounding areas to make this special time of year just a little brighter. The choice was easy to make.  I am supporting The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program and I invite you to help!

If you're not familiar with the program, the mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

I can't think of a better way to help our community celebrate the holidays.

From now until December 21^st my office will serve as an official Toys for Tots Drop-Off location.  If you're coming in for an appointment, consider bringing a toy to donate. Or better yet, just drop in to say "hello" and drop off a toy.

This is a worthwhile cause that touch so many children in our area. And after all, isn't spreading joy and hope the meaning of the holiday season?

Please join me and help make this the best Christmas ever for so many children.

Sincerely,

Larry Winans, DMD
