Dear Editor: On behalf of the children in our care here at Children’s Specialized Hospital and their families, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who made a donation of toys or money to our 1999 Holiday Toy Drive. With the donations that came in from over 280 individuals and organizations, we were able to make the holiday season a “very special one” for 983 children in our services. The endless smiles, which were displayed, and the many appreciative words of thanks from the children and their family members were a sight to behold. We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and we wish you the best in this year 2000. Again thank you for your donations and support of this annual holiday drive. Janet Weston, DVS Director of Volunteer Services Children’s Specialized Hospital
