The Empire Reindeer Christmas Club, raised $10,230 for Toys For Tots

December 5th, 2009, the Empire Reindeer Christmas Club hosted their
112th annual holiday charity gala at the Portland Yacht Club in Falmouth, Maine.
The party was an enormous success, with a record turnout of guests, from
which tickets sales and donations helped to raise a record number of dollars
for the Toys For Tots foundation, through the U.S. Marine Corps. A select group
of representatives from the Corps accepted the official donation at the event.

The final number of dollars raised, $10,230, tallied on Monday, 12/7, surpassed
the previously largest donor for the state of Maine, TD Bank, at $10,000. The
president of the organiztion, Ken Murphy, and the Vice President, Nick Dambrie, both from
the Portland area, are extremely greatful and amazed at the success and enormity of the
event, and to all who helped with this success. Thank you!
