On November 20th, the Inland Empire Scroll Saw Association had their annual toy drive. This year we were able to donate the most toys we have ever done. There were over 2400 handmade wooden toys made. I was able to donate 190 toys this year. 
These toys are distributed to lower income areas in Fontana and several local churches. These groups are allowed to pick and choose toys that will benefit children in their areas. It is a great event each year to see and participate in. 
We have a few people to thank this year. Fontana Veterans Association and Fontana Foundation of Hope for donating money to the toy drive. This money is 100% used on the purchase of toy wheels. We used almost 10,000 wheels this year. RSI holdings also donated 1,000 board feet of lumber to make toys. It did take us a while go through the wood.
The pictures are mainly what I was able to donate with some overall pictures of the room. It was impressive to see all the toys made.
