Awesome Ron. Good on you for helping. Have you ever been in the situation where you actually see recipients get the toys?
Our local woodworking club used to have several toys for kids projects, Some of them were for completed toys, and with them it was rare when one of us got to actually be at the give. Our other side is some of us would make parts for toys, they are fairly simple pieces, more like building blocks than stuff like Dutchy is known for. We used to be at several local shows every year, and our booth was a building station where the kids made their own toys based on the parts we pre-built. That is where I used to contribute, and used to love it when my schedule matched with a show, so I could help work in the booth. Seeing those kids literally come alive making a toy with their own hands, well it's a special thing to see. Once you did, you become a contributor for life, it's addictive. Sadly some goofus who ran for president and acted all normal, turned out to be a dud, and has stopped all such activity. :-O Next election is a year away, and I think Dud will be gone. A lot of the old timers just left with his coming on. I was one of them.
