Today, a handful of the Swingsters and their parents drove down to Children's Medical Center in Dallas to deliver carloads of toys, clothes and other gifts to the hospital for the sick children that they care for.  After delivering the toys, the Swingsters stayed to spend time with a number of children in the various playrooms, providing them with crafts and playing games with them.  You can read more about it online at http://www.neighborsgo.com/stories/26856
