	This year, RTAAF is about giving back therefore we were honored to have been invited by Laser 101.7 to sponsor an evening of collecting Toys for Tots. RTAAF, along with Big Mark Clark of Laser 101.7, collected toys at Kmart in Rochester on Tuesday, December 5th from 3 pm to 7pm. All toys collected were donated to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders. The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help needy children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation's most valuable natural resources - our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities in the future. Thank you to all who participated and stopped by Kmart on December 5th to visit with members of RTAAF and Big Mark Clark
	To honor the holiday season this year, RTAAF decorated and donated a tree designed around the "hope" and "colors" surrounding Autism. The tree was on display and available for purchase through the Festival of Trees "Celebration of Giving." The RTAAF tree is appropriately titled "The Colors of Hope." Thank you to each of you who stopped out to the festival held November 21st through November 26th, 2007 at the Mayo Civic Center - Exhibit Hall to view or even bid on the tree! Pictures of the tree can be viewed by clicking on the following link: Click here for photos
