Toys for Tots to collect toys Saturday at Dole Institute
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics will host the Douglas County Toys for Tots Drive for 500 from 1 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. The Dole Institute is located west of the Lied Center.
The Toys for Tots committee will try to collect 500 toys for children in the Lawrence community.
Residents who bring a toy donation will be invited to a free lunch provided by Hy-Vee at 4000 W. Sixth St.
They will also be registered to win door prizes, including a grand prize of two round-trip tickets to anywhere Frontier Airlines flies in the continental United State.
"There'll be a lot festivities," said Mary Jones, co-chair of the local Toys for Tots committee. "People can come by and see their neighbors."
Along with the Dole Institute, toys can be donated at any of the Toys for Tots drop boxes that will be put in various Lawrence locations during the week.
The toys will be distributed as Christ mas gifts to needy children in the community.

Armin Meiwes, 42, described how Bernd Juergen Brandes, 43, replied to an Internet advertisement in March 2001 seeking a young man for "slaughter and consumption."
Prosecutors say the killing was sexually motivated and filed murder charges, despite concluding there was consent.
Meiwes' attorney argued against murder charges, saying the slaying was a form of mercy killing. Meiwes faces life in prison if convicted of murder.
