Press Release: PSWCS Toy Drive

[Barada]

Just got this from Bill Cable, President of the Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society.

The Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society, in association with Toy Heaven, is holding a Star Wars toy drive to benefit Garrison Carida of the 501st Legion. Garrison Carida encompasses much of the mid-Atlantic region, including
Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia. They are a truly
service-oriented chapter of the 501st, dedicating the majority of their efforts to helping children. They visit children's hospitals 6 or 7 times a year where they pose for photos with the patients and hand out Star Wars toys. The toys collected through this drive will be given to the children during these visits.

The Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society (http://www.PSWCS.com), in
association with Toy Heaven (http://www.thetoyheaven.com), is holding a
Star Wars toy drive to benefit Garrison Carida
(http://www.garrisoncarida.com) of the 501st Legion (http://www.501st.com).
Garrison Carida encompasses much of the mid-Atlantic region, including
Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia. They are a truly
service-oriented chapter of the 501st, dedicating the majority of their
efforts to helping children. They visit children's hospitals 6 or 7 times a
year where they pose for photos with the patients and hand out Star Wars
toys. The toys collected through this drive will be given to the children
during these visits.

PSWCS will accept donations from November 1st through December 6th. The
donations will be collected and stored at Toy Heaven, a Philadelphia-area
toy shop that specializes in action figures and collectibles from the 1970s
to present, including vintage and modern Star Wars toys. On December 6th
PSWCS will hand the toys over to representatives of Garrison Carida at a
special celebration that will be held at Toy Heaven. We're expecting 20
fully-armored members of Garrison Carida to be on-hand for the event.

If you would like to contribute to this toy drive, you can mail your
donations to the address below. We can accept Star Wars action figures,
vehicles, and games. However, Garrison Carida does not hand out
role-playing toys or weapons. In addition to toys, Garrison Carida needs
the camera film that is used to take their pictures. They use Polaroid
Spectra instant film. Additional information can be found at
http://www.pswcs.com/toydrive/.

PSWCS has set a personal goal of donating 170 toys from club members - one
toy for each member. We hope you will join us in supporting this fine
organization and their efforts to brighten the days of children who need it
most. Thank you!
