130 bikes are put together, in one hour, by Wall Systems workers
Wall Systems employees spent Friday afternoon building bikes for Toys for Tots.
In an hour and a half, fifteen volunteers assembled 130 boys' and girls' bicycles.
"Last year we assembled 87 bikes, so we were trying to beat our record," said Gerry Brousseau, Vice President of Wall Systems. "Volunteering gets us all in the holiday spirit."
In addition to the toys, Collier County's chapter of Toys for Tots expects to distribute 500 bicycles this year. All of the toys collected locally, stay in Collier County. "We distribute toys all the way up to Christmas. Whatever toys we have available that last week gets divided among additional local charities," commented Bob Kearns, Commandant for Collier County Toys for Tots.

Wall Systems Inc. of Southwest Florida is a twenty-one-year-old metal framing, drywall, stucco and fire stopping subcontractor based out of Naples.
