MBLUG: Donation to The Children's Hospital of Winnipeg 2016

[CupIsHalfEmpty]

Hello

It's coming to that time of year where we will start collecting donations of Lego (or cash used to purchase Lego) for The Children's Hospital of Winnipeg. We will be making the donation at the end of November so the hospital has it in time for Christmas.

Where to drop off
There's several options for donation, I can collect donations at Mega Trains, The October MBLUG Meeting, C4, or Winkler. Or if you are purchasing online, you can have the sets shipped to my address.

Tax Receipts
Tax receipts are available for donations over $20 if you provide me the retail sales receipt and your mailing address.

What to donate
The hospital prefers sets valued under $25. The most useful ones for them are in the $12.99 range. These are the easiest for the kids to build in their hospital beds.

DEALS!
