NY Life Members repair toys for needy children
    The three life member clubs of Albany, Troy and Schenectady, N.Y.commemorated 15 years of a partnership with the Albany N.Y. Police Athletic League (PAL) repairing toys for underprivileged children. Under the leadership of Ken Rapsard and the helping hands of Lynne and Don Strevell, SallyAnn Purcell, Walden Briggs, Don Haswell and Bob Bouvier, this group of dedicated life members have, from 1989 to now, repaired and distributed over 75,000 toys to needy kids at Christmastime. Since 1989, the group has volunteered over 170,000 hours. The toys are donated by national toy manufacturers and are all new, returned to the stores as defective. Many need only a simple adjustment, a small repair, or just new batteries.  The TelecomPioneers do most all of the repair work.
