Chamber’s Young Professionals and Academy Art Museum Gear Up for Toys for Tots

For more than ten years, the Talbot County Chamber of Commerce’s young professional group has taken the lead in managing the annual Toys for Tots campaign. This unique program was created so children whose parents cannot afford to buy them toys for the holiday season can receive these as gifts from the community.

While the goal is simple, there are countless logistical issues of collecting and distributing thousands of toy donations that come with that mission. And this year, the falls on Chamber member Frank Gunsallus. And in Frank’s case, his day job as an account manager at the local high tech firm, BDK, is a perfect match for some of those challenges.

Also, this year, the Toys for Tots campaign has a new partnership with the Academy Art. Museum. On October 28, the AAM will co-host the kick-off event with their new partner, the Academy Art Museum.

The Spy talked to Frank a few days ago about this great Talbot County tradition.
