Toys needed for Toys for Tots

The Williams Lions Club is sponsoring the Toys for Tots Drive to provide toys for children who otherwise might be overlooked by Santa.

"Angel cards" have been placed on Christmas trees at National Bank of Arizona, the Stockmen's Bank and the Williams Ranger District. Anyone wishing to provide a toy for a needy child can select a card from a tree, purchase a toy suitable for the child chosen, wrap the gift and return it to the location where they were selected.

Williams Lions Club members will deliver the gifts to children's homes before Christmas.

If you are aware of children 12 or under who should be included in the toy drive, contact Lion Edie Phillips at (928) 635-4784 with the child's name, age, sex and address so they may be included in the list.
