The Hamilton County Young Republicans look forward to seeing everyone at their annual Christmas Party from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 9 at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant, 9 W. Main St., Carmel.

Attendees will have the opportunity to donate new toys to The Villages of Indiana, the state’s largest foster care provider. Last year, the group collected over 150 toys. All Republicans under 40 are welcome; a donation of a toy is not required.

If you can’t make it to the party, you can still donate. Drop off any new toys at Donatello’s anytime now through Dec. 9. Examples include action figures, board games, books, card games, coloring supplies, dolls, infant toys, Legos, outdoor play items, puzzles, stuffed animals and toy cars.
