Cookies for a Koz

The company was formed in honor of Audrey Koz who was a master cookie maker!
She passed away 3 years ago and this company was formed as a way to have the
magic she spread through her cookies live on.  A portion of the proceeds to
the Starlight Foundation in her honor - which is where the play on words in
the name of the company comes in! I have tasted these and they are AMAZING!

The Latts in conjunction with The Asylum annual TOYS FOR TOTS toy drive

All they want is 1 small, discarded toy that they will give to a small,
discarded child for the holidays.  This is especially important in this
financial climate -- there will be a lot more kids this year going without a
toy this holiday.  They want to break records this year! (last year they
brought in over 2,000 toys!) – so they have upped the game: The person(s)
who brings in the most toys will get a walk on role to an Asylum film in
2009*!!!! (or get a collection of Asylum DVDs…your choice). They will
announce the winner on the website. 

Here's what you need to do:

-Find a toy. 

-Don’t wrap it!

-Mail it or drop it off to:

Latt

c/o The Asylum

1012 N. Sycamore Ave.

Los Angeles, CA. 90038

All toys must be delivered to the office by December 4th.

Good Toys:

-Books (used are fine, but they must look new)

-Anything that doesn't require batteries

-Nothing wrapped

-Lots of little toys are better than 1 big toy

Bad Toys:

-Guns

-Candy wrappers
