We had a nice turnout this year and hope next year will be bigger. For those who were unable to attend we will still be collecting till the last week of Christmas. There are over 500 children in need. You can still drop off a toy at 434 Hudson Street or the Gloucester City High School.

There are many people to thank for all their help. In helping sell the tickets, Nancy from Doc-N-Joe’s, all bartenders from Essex Street Pub, Cap’s Café, Pat Rodgers and Ed Kniceley. Thanks to Pat and Sal for allowing us to hold this special event.

Cap’s also donated hot roast beef, tossed salad, give a ways and a neon Miller Light sign that was raffled off. For the hard work of his staff, Tina who waitressed, Patrice who bartended, and Rose Mary ran the kitchen. Thanks to Mike and Sally Nordaby, owner of Catherina Catering who donated hot meatballs, pepperoni and cheese platter and use of the catering truck to hall all the toys. The Pub, Theo Tagiavlas who donated potato salad and a hundred dollars of gift certificates. Pretzel factory donated a large tray of pretzels.

Ed Kniceley and the VFW Post 3260 who donated toys. Our second family Garden State Corvette Club who joined us and most of all for everyone who came out with a toy and shared our holiday spirit. Thank you to Timmy Williams who came out and DJ donated most of his time and did a great job.

We would also like to give a special thank you to the Gloucester City News. For the past four years they have put every article about my son Robert Dornbach and the promotion for Toys for Tots in the paper for nothing. This year was a nice turnout.

My husband and I will continue to do the Toys for Tots in honor of our son Robert Dornbach every year.

Thank you all for your support. Hope you and your families have a Merry Christmas and happy New Year!!
