PLENTY OF TOYS FOR GIRL AND BOYS: The book clubs of Beaufort County gathered Thursday for the annual Toys for Tots luncheon, for which each attendee brings an unwrapped toy to donate to the local Toys for Tots Campaign. U.S. Marines from Cherry Point are invited to attend, as well. This year’s luncheon was held at the Washington Yacht & Country Club. Pictured left to right are Sgt.
