Chief Wiggles announces spectacular news - the number of boxes received by his unit in Baghdad has exceeded 1,000. The Chief, a man of adamantine optimism, responds to the success as only he could:
A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAS PARTICIPATED SO FAR! NOW LET'S ADD A ZERO TO THE END AND MAKE IT 10,000!
Ten thousand, indeed. That effort will certainly move forward as the list of fourteen private companies and community associations holding toy drives grows. Most of the organizations to which I belong are small, and near the limit of their capabilities tending to local and regional functions; so my participation will probably continue to be personal (though I may be able to talk friends and family into donating, especially the rightward ones). Which turns it over to you, reader: do you belong to a large church or other organization that could provide for Chief Wiggles' Toys for Iraq campaign with even light member involvement? If people have questions, show them what good deeds have been accomplished already.
