An 11-year-old girl raising money for the Marine Reserves' Toys for Tots program has a very personal attachment to her cause. Julia Jablonski organized a bake sale at the Primrose Daycare in South Heidelberg Township today. She'll use the proceeds to buy toys and next weekend she will present them to a very special Marine at a welcome home celebration.
>> JULIA JABLONSKI: My cousin is in the Marines and he's deployed to Afghanistan so I decided that it would be a good thing to do this.
>> Julia's cousin, Staff Sergeant Drew Yetter, is scheduled to return home from Afghanistan. His family and friends are planning to celebrate his return next Saturday in Shillington, where Julia will give him the toys.
