Special to Huntingtonnews.net
From a WV Supreme Court of Appeals Release
Charleston, WV (HNN) - The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, its employees and friends will donate toys to the Toys for Tots program as part of the Court's sine die ceremony at noon on Tuesday, Nov. 24.
The Court has been collecting toys for several weeks. The toys will be picked up by Marines in uniform. The sine die ceremony marks the end of the fall term of Court.
The donation marks the fifth consecutive year the Supreme Court and its employees have participated in the Toys for Tots program.
The Toys for Tots program began in 1947, when it distributed five thousand toys to children in the Los Angeles area. Since then it has distributed millions of toys to children across the country. The United States Marines Corps and those who help them collect toys want to motivate children to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens, and community leaders.
That goal meshes with the Supreme Court's mission to improve the administration of justice and increase services to citizens. The Toys for Tots program is a way to address the physical needs and wants of West Virginia's youngest citizens.
