Rich Arnold of Westfield Insurance Company and Tim Walters of Walters and Hanna Insurance Agency have been leading the Akron Canton Chapter Good Works Project for 12 years. Donations of chapter members and local insurance companies are spent at Toys R Us in Montrose who provides us with discounts and freebies from time to time.

This year Rich and Tom set another record with over $1,800 raised. Although they do not get to distribute the toys, the Children's Hospital Volunteer department wraps the toys and distributes them on our behalf. We congratulate Rich and Tom and all participating chapter members on this great project.
