Yes ...it does add up to 1,029. The count would have been greater but I
can count the checks as only one item....you would be shocked had all the
items received been an actual toy!! But the donated checks will give the
staff of the Recreation Therapy department at Stanford the opportunity to
get a/or many most needed item(s) for the children that we may not be
aware of.
Again, many thanks to all you generous people in this club. I know the
Doobie Brothers are very proud of your effort.
Here�s to good health and happiness to all this holiday season.
See you next millenium...with some new tunes coming our way from your
friends the Doobie Brothers.
Buon Natale, Mele Kalikimaka, Feliz Navidad, etc....
Chris Passanisi
