Dear Editor:

Thank you Turlock! You are the kindest and most giving community every! You gave us over 4,000 toys this year! We want you to know that our gratitude is equally divided amongst the people who gave us a doll or a game board, to those who gave us skateboards and brand new bikes. All the toys were distributed to the children who would have gone without if not for the outpour of generosity from this wonderful community!

Santa and Mrs. Claus were present for the event, we enjoyed their hugs and smiles. The expression on their faces when they sit on our lap and receive their toys, is priceless! It always warms our hearts and we have you to thank for that!

To all of you who left a toy by your mailbox for your letter carrier to pick up, and to those who took the time during your busy schedules to bring your donation to the Post Office, we want you to know how much the kindness of your heart is appreciated.

On behalf of all the little ones who are now enjoying the gifts you gave them, and from all of us at the Post Office we want to wish you a joyful and happy new Year!

God Bless you!
