  Krys Vogler - Verde Valley Toys for Tots    LCO
The Verde Valley Toys for Tots program is
sponsored  through the US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.  Representing the communities of Camp Verde, Clarkdale, Cornville, Cottonwood, Jerome, Lake Montezuma, and Rimrock, AZ..  This program was started in 2005 with 800 toys being distributed to 4635 toys distributed in the 2008 campaign.  This was made possible through the generosity of the community and local businesses.  Our first Inaugural Golf Tournament was held at Verde Santa Fe Golf Resort was a success. 
Plans are in the making for other functions through out the year to help raise money for extra toys when toy donations may not meet the demand.  An on going goal each year is have enough bicycles, skate boards, and high end toys that can be raffled off at local Christmas parties.  Each child receives a raffle ticket and numbers are then called thoughout the party until all items are given out.  We also try to help the elderly during Christmas time to show them they have not been forgotten and to assist other organizations in the Verde Valley meet their goals as well. Krys is a life member of the Verde Valley Detachment of the Marine Corps League and is the Paymaster/
Adjutant.
 
"Remember Every Child Deserves A Little Christmas"

  Lois Hook - Assistant Coordinator
 
 

 I met Lois through learning to play golf.  I met alot of friendly people and now through Lois we have quite a few volunteers willing to help out with everything being planned.  There is a tremendous amount of work that goes into  planning all of the events and distribution of toys when Christmas time arrives.  Lois has been instrumental in getting the necessary volunteers to make this program work. Without her help this would not be happening so quickly.  I might add that her husband Rollin volunteered so graciously to be Santa this last year.  Lois is always available when I need her the most.  She is a great trooper and friend.

I can't say enough about her.
