Toy Drive & Christmas Social

The Homeowners Association sponsored a Toy Drive & Christmas Social Wednesday, December 20th at Chic-A-Si Park. Entertainment was provided by the barbershop quartet, Songfellows. Everyone was asked to bring an unwrapped toy and was given a free membership in the Homeowners Association.

The response was wonderful. We had a great turnout, the weather was perfect and we collected hundreds of toys. Some of the toys were used for the remaining children on the Indian Rocks Beach City Angel Tree in City Hall, and the rest were distributed to Shirley Steele who works with the Rainbow Village just over the bridge.

Thank you to all who volunteered and participated, including The Visitor’s Center on Walsingham Rd., USA G on Gulf Blvd., and The Island Surf Shop on Gulf Blvd for collecting toys during the month of December. Thanks also to Thomas Leyman, President of the Indian Rocks Volunteer Firemens Association and his 25 Volunteers for donating a truck full of toys, in their antique Fire Truck.
