Toonies For Tomar

We got a letter over the weekend from our friend Principal Smith at Magnetic Hill Elementary School...Here it is:

Dear Tony & Shelli,

I wanted to pass on that we have a special project going on at Magnetic Hill School. It's called Toonies for Tomar and I'd really appreciate it if you could spread the word and perhaps our little project could grow into something really special. Tomar the Tiger is the icon of the Magnetic Hill Zoo. We have recently learned that he is quite ill and his time at the zoo is limited. As the School that has Magnetic Hill Zoo as part of its community many of the children have expressed an interest and concern for Tomar. I have been in contact with Mr. Bruce Dougan, General Manager of the Zoo, and shared the comments and best wishes from the children at our school. The next step was to see what we as a community can do as an act of support. The result is our "Toonies for Tomar" campaign. This week long campaign asks that each child contribute $2.00 towards Tomar. The monies raised will be used in one of three ways: for the ongoing to care Tomar, towards the purchase of a memorial for Tomar or to assist in the purchase of a new tiger for the Zoo. This way we can act locally on a "service-into-action-project" at our school. Your voluntary support of this cause is greatly appreciated.

We think that this is a great idea. If you'd like more information you can call Magnetic Hill School at 856-3428.

Thanks for Listening!
