Once again DACA members participated in the Santa’s Helpers toy drive at Christmas. News personality Chris Flanagan from WFAA TV in Dallas spoke at the November meeting and brought posters for members to display at their offices. This year DACA members collected 958 toys, 30 bicycles and $4,525.00 in cash for Santa’s Helpers. Thanks to all of our members who participated, even in a down year you made sure a lot of children had presents at Christmas. A special thank you to Gary Yancy of USG Corporation who coordinated the drive after mentoring under John Lambert for years. Thank you John for establishing DACA as one of the larger contributors to Santa’s Helpers. John and his wife Cathy also collected toys on behalf of DACA at a Lambert toy drive-thru. Another tip of the hat to Ron Mcintire from USG Corporation and Nelda Sanchez and Sutton Higgs from BAV for the extra help in picking up toys and delivering them to the collection point.
