I just walked into the basement, where the toys are arrayed: It's full. Furniture covered in stuffed toys. Entire shelves of Matchbox cars. A tower of board games. Boxes & boxes of big things, from trains to cars to burping baby dolls and tubs of Play Doh. We're going through photos now, tagging them, pulling duplicates, fixing red eye. I've posted the first 10, I'll get the whole batch up tonight. Now off to eat breakfast at 2:30pm, take my Dad to buy a Christmas Tree, then back to finish the photos & upload 'em, send copies to the Enforcers NE. Wow - it's just amazing. THANK YOU EVERYONE! Awake.

It was freakin' <b>AWESOME</b>. A great turnout of fellas. Ammaazziinngg toys donated (there are some really wonderful fellas out there!) The bar - The Alley was sweethearts to deal with: Quick responses to questions, friendly, helpful, we could get spoiled. The baskets, ohmygoodness, the clubs completely outdid themselves. One huuuge basket after another... The crowd - we couldn't sell enough raffle tickets. Heck, we coulda kept selling 'em but we needed to close down so we could do the draws and be over by 2am. Tomorrow afternoon I'll start posting photos and putting together a report, but tonight I am going to sleep just overwhelmed by the generosity and support of everyone. Thank you! Come back tomorrow for details and photos... It’s 4am, we just finished putting away the huge piles of toys in the basement…
