Walker's new proposal will reduce non-personnel expenses to 20 percent and reduce loss of city department personnel from 60 to approximately 40. It also suggests using $1,960,994 from gaming revenue to solve the remaining deficit.

Toys for Tots drive begins
Webster Parish News
Wednesday, 25 November 2009

The annual Toys for Tots toy drive, sponsored by the Minden Civitan Club and the Young Women’s Service Club, is now under way.
Each year, the two organizations collect and distribute toys to needy children in the Minden-South Webster Parish area. Just before Christmas, members of the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Minden Police Department deliver the presents.

“The Christmas season is upon us once again and in the spirit of the season, you are being called upon to help those less fortunate than you,” said Ed LaBruyere, Minden Civitan Club toy chairman. “While there are many good programs that need your assistance, the sponsoring clubs desperately need your help with the local toy donation program.”
