As part of the campaign, employees could also "buy" the right to wear jeans during the month of the December by paying $1 per day.
Employees "paid" $400 for this privilege, with the club matching the employee donation, resulting in an $800 check for Toys for Tots to purchase additional toys and supplies.

Season for purse snatchers:
"Have a shoulder bag under your jacket or coat and keys ready before you leave the store.
"And to be honest, it is often relatively easy to spot these thugs. Many are in the store and prepare to follow you.
