Tildenville says thank you
Orange County Commissioner Scott Boyd receives a plaque from Sebrenia M. Brown from the Tildenville Community Development Board to thank him for his part in providing toys for needy children during the Christmas holidays. The Winter Garden Police Department had a smaller budget for its 2009 toy campaign and had to eliminate the families in this community. In 2 weeks, Boyd’s staff and members of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office collected toys for all 63 families and delivered them to each household.
