Volunteer Airboating Sportsmen from across Florida, Georgia and as far as Louisiana, will gather in Melbourne, Florida, on Saturday December 3rd, to dedicate a ride to collect toys for needy children. Members of the online group
http://southernairboat.com/ will sponsor this event. This is another Airboat Sportsmen volunteer effort to provide charitable services to their communities. SouthernAirboat.com member Charity Chardt states, “Many families were devastated this season by all the storms and hurricanes. The money to purchase toys for the children may not be there. We want to help make this holiday season a happy one for the children and their families.�
Each airboat will be bringing in donations of new, unwrapped toys that will be given to the Melbourne office of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, Toys for Tots. The public is welcome and encouraged to participate if desired. The toy donations may be brought to Lake Washington Park, beginning at 10:00 A.M. on the Saturday morning of the ride and continuing throughout the day until 3:00 P.M.
