Bring your camera and take your child's picture with Rudolph and friends in the Women's Civic Club of Stone Har-bor at 96th St. and the beach, Nov. 29 from 8 a.m. - noon.

Come and enjoy a continental break-fast while waiting for the runners in the 5K Run and the walkers in the one mile Pooch Walk.

The cost of admission is a new un-wrapped toy or a donation to the Marine Corps Reserve "Toys for Tots" holiday toy drive.

Toys for Tots originated in 1947, when Diane Hendricks, the wife of USMCR Major Bill Hendricks gave a doll she made herself to her husband, ask-ing him to deliver the doll to an organi-zation, which would give it to a needy child at Christmas (toysfortots.org).

A Marine Corps representative will be on hand to answer your questions about this very worthy charity. A toy collection box will be available at the club throughout the weekend.
