Nothing can magically light up a child’s face quite like a shiny new toy for the holidays. Helping disadvantaged youngsters feel that joy is the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve “Toys for Tots” Program. This year, and every year since 2004, Muller Martini has participated in the program, working together with the U.S. Marines to gather toys for donation to local boys and girls in need.
WE MOAN and groan about how our stock portfolios and 401(k)s have taken a beating due to the near-collapse of the U.S. financial system. About cutting back on holiday gift giving expenditures due to job insecurity. About customers tightening their belts, and their marketing budgets. But, in the true holiday spirit, why not consider, instead, our many blessings in comparison to those around the world less fortunate and who face even bigger obstacles in making a living?
