\nBright and early the next morning, and fueled by coffee and hot chocolate, assistant Jackie Campbell and attorneys Carole Clark Isakson (and her daughter Ellie) and Nicole Wiebold helped sort hundreds and hundreds of toys, bag them, and load them in trucks provided by MTA members. The event was a wonderful way to start the holiday season, spend some time helping others, and make some new friends.
