Little, Director 31~ <br />Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department <br /> <br />"Christmas Toys For Dade County, Florida" <br /> <br /> The Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department is in the <br />process of organizing a County-wide effort to encourage caring <br />people to donate Christmas toys for children of Dade County, <br />Florida. As you are aware, Hurricane Andrew completely destroyed <br />this area of the country. An example of this destruction is over <br />39,000 homes were leveled by the hurricane. Ms. Pat Eraso, the <br />Dade County, Florida Disaster Relief Coordinator told us that many <br />children in the Dade County area will not receive Christmas <br />presents due to their general lack of the bare necessities such as <br />water, housing, food, etc. <br /> <br /> The Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department is <br />encouraging everyone to participate: churches, organizations, <br />clubs, cooperations, companies, families and individuals. The <br />proposed plans are to collect children's toys from a variety of <br />sites in the County from November 23 until December 13. Cabarrus <br />County Parks and Recreation Department will be a primary drop off <br />site and is also seeking other potential dropoff sites. Toys may <br />also be collected during Frank Liske Park's Christmas Special Event <br />"Holiday Highlites" on December 12 and 13. A donated freight <br />truck will deliver the presents to Dade County during the week of <br />December 14-18. <br /> <br /> This program has the potential of making thousands of young <br />children very happy at this Christmas. If you need any additional <br />information, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your <br />cooperation and support concerning this project. <br /> <br /> Parks and Recreation Department <br /> <br />755 Cabarrus Avenue West · P.O.
