Story by Bob Petka

Don White of the L/Cpl Alan D. Lam Detachment #1209 of the Marine Corps League spent most of the year constructing the Toys For Tots Train.  Don described his efforts & said, "This was a labor of love for all the children and youngsters in the area -- there are a few odds and ends before it is completely finished but essentially it is good to go!". 

The train helped us double the toys distributed in our 2009 Toys For Tots Campaign!

Don had a great time  & was the key attraction with all of the spectators as "engineer" for the first inaugural run in the Burlington NC Parade (21 NOV 2009).  The train also participated in parades at Mebane and Gibsonville but were rained out in Graham.
