MAKES GOOD ON ITS TOYS FOR TOTS PROGRAM

A group of us met on December 20th at the main fire house in San Mateo at 10:00 AM, only to be told that none of the fire houses were not accepting toys in 2020 as a result of COVID-19. They are accepting gift cards to be distributed to the agency to purchase toys. They did recommend the Central County Fire Department (Station 35) in Burlingame. We drove approximately 4-5 miles from the main fire station and pulled into the lot where the firemen were working. We dropped off 5 33-gallon trash bags of toys to be delivered to the children who located in San Mateo County. We had members and friends drop off their packages to the Toys for Tots committee that consisted of Silvana Da Dalt, Arlene Nunziati, Lilianne and Mike Croaro, Bennie Pardini and Diana Garibaldi. Many of the members and friends donated toys for this worth-while cause. At the presentation were President-elect Angelo Fanucchi and his wife Angie, Lilianne and Mike Croaro, Arlene Nunziati, Bennie Pardini and Diana Garibaldi. The weather and the true feeling of Christmas could not have been any better. Grazie tanto to all the members and friends who worked to make this special program successful.
