The Marines and Corpsmen of the Thames River Detachment Marine Corps League wish to extend our appreciation to all those who donated money, toys, time and services for this year's New London County Toys 4 Tots campaign.

Because of this generosity, we were able to distribute nearly 9,000 toys to 1,411 New London County children from 34 New London County nonprofit organizations.

We would like to commend Mike Swartz and his staff at Mike's Famous Harley Davidson, Debbie Botelho and her staff at the Crystal Mall and the Cross Roads Rent a Space for their continuous support throughout the year.
