Toys for Tots: New faces, new home, same mission

When Anita Parisot of Coeur d’Alene became the coordinator for the Kootenai County Toys for Tots program she knew she had big shoes to fill. The Pappy Boyington Detachment #966 of the Marine Corps League has been conducting the toy drive since 1997. Parisot is the first civilian to take the position. Parisot said that along with bringing toys to the area’s children, the opportunity allows her to honor the Marines in her life.
