Thank you very much to everyone who came out or otherwise supported our second annual Holiday Happy Hour and toy drive to support Ohio Valley families.

We've now collected well over 100 toys that have been distributed to local Ohio Valley families through local nonprofits. We also got together for drinks and munchies to reflect on the year and hang out with new friends.

In 2008 we met on Wednesday, December 17 in the back room (behind the bar) of River City Restaurant at 1400 Main Street in downtown Wheeling, WV. The .festivities started at 5:30 and continued on until 7:30. Late workers and folks coming in from a ways away didn't miss anything by not getting there until 6:30 or later.

The Last Event of 2008

River City provided free appetizers (thank you!) as well as a cash bar with alcoholic treats as well as pop and water for those of all drink persuasions.

Folks were able to either bring a toy - some of us have a lot of fun shopping in the toys and sporting good aisles - or make a $10 donation (members and non-members alike) that we used to buy toys for the group donation.

Thank you again for everyone that supported our get-together. We look forward to seeing you at a variety of events in 2009 including our next Holiday After Hours / Toy Drive. Good luck in all your endeavors!
