All year long, members of Atlanta Urban League Young Professionals have dedicated their time, energy and resources toward improving our community. However,
there is one last event on our calendar that needs our attention as much as any other.
On Saturday, Dec. 18, AULYP volunteers are needed to team up with Instant Tax
Service’s toy drive in Marietta and Smyrna to assist in toy distribution, crowd control,facilitating raffles and more. Christmas hats and refreshments will be provided.
The event will be from 8:30 to 11 a.m. at 603 South Marietta Parkway, Suite
103, in Marietta AND at 3791 South Cobb Drive, Suite K, in Smyrna. Michael Oden, owner of both Instant Tax Service locations, has personally
donated many of the 1,000 toys and 1,000 books raised to help deserving children- many of whose families are suffering financially this holiday season.
For some of these families, the toys that volunteers hand out to them
are the only gifts they will have under the tree. In 2009, the lines formed by those in need who showed up for the toy drive stretched out the door at both locations. Let’s close out 2010 with our best effort to improve the lives of our friends and
neighbors.
E-mail Ciji Tatum at cijitatum@gmail.com to submit your availability and volunteer location preference.
