Rotary Toy Drive Means a Xmas for Kids Thousands of children will find a toy or a bicycle on Christmas morning, thanks to the annual Boca Raton Toy Drive sponsored by the four Boca Raton Rotary Clubs. The Carousel in Sugar Sand Park, a joint Rotary project 20 years ago, was the annual pickup spot Sunday for nonprofits like the Caridad Center in Boynton Beach and others who will distribute the toys to deserving kids. This year’s toy drive set records for the amount of toys donated and collected, said Douglas Heizer, a toy drive co-founder and former Rotary International District 6930 governor. In fact, two members of the Rotary Club of Vero Beach Oceanside stopped by to pick up toys for Little Birthday Angels, homeless children. See on Page 8
