“Last year’s toy drive was an overwhelming success thanks to the generous outpouring of donations from the LGBT community and our allies,” said Steve Adkins, president of the MDGLCC.  “We’re really looking forward to turning the LGBT Visitor Center into Santa’s workshop again this year.”
 
Speaking of Santa, the jolly old elf himself will be making a special guest appearance at the event which will also feature special surprises and Sobe Jewelry selling a special edition Pride ring with proceeds benefiting the LGBT Visitor Center.  Complimentary cocktails and a great food buffet will be served against the backdrop of DJ Sayho playing holiday and contemporary favorites.
