Center Street<br \/>\nThe Watchman is collecting toys, art supplies, and money for two charities- the Gingerbread House in West Bend and the Meta House in Riverwest. Donations can also be made online until December 10 at the Great Lakes Alliance\u2019s website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wix.com\/glhg10\/gla2010\">www.wix.com\/glhg10\/gla2010<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Contact:<\/strong> Tea Krulos<br \/>\nteakrulos@gmail.com<br \/>\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- MILWAUKEE &#8220;REAL LIFE SUPERHERO&#8221; LEADS TOY DRIVE<br \/>\nMilwaukee, WI-December, 1, 2010- You\u2019ve probably read an article about him in a paper or heard people talk about him. Maybe you\u2019ve even seen him on the streets of Milwaukee. Now you can not only meet Milwaukee\u2019s Real Life Superhero, The Watchman, but you can help him with a heroic mission- donating toys and art supplies to charity.<br \/>\nSaturday, December 11, The Watchman will be in person in front of the Fuel Caf\u00e9 (818 E. Center Street) from 10AM-4PM collecting donations of cash, art supplies, and (new) toys. Online money and in person cash donations will be used to buy additional toys and art supplies and everything will be delivered in person to two charities the following week.<br \/>\nThose charities are the Gingerbread House, located in West Bend, which provides toys to low income families who can\u2019t afford to buy gifts for their children and Meta House, a rehab center for women and their children, located in Riverwest. Meta House has also cited a need for art supplies for their various art programs.<br \/>\nThis is the third year The Watchman and his Great Lakes Alliance teammates in Minnesota are participating in a holiday charity mission. Fundraising will be open online on the team\u2019s site, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wix.com\/glhg10\/gla2010\">www.wix.com\/glhg10\/gla2010<\/a>, until December 10. The online funds will be divided between Milwaukee and the Minnesota heroes, who will be donating to People Serving People, a shelter in Minneapolis.<br \/>\nThis year Watchman has the additional support of Milwaukee author Tea Krulos (who is writing a book on real life superheroes) and fellow Milwaukee real life superhero Blackbird (who is helping with the mission, but won\u2019t be at the drive, due to his mysterious nature) and other volunteers on hand to help out. In a comic book reversal, The Watchman is shining a batsignal to the public, hoping people will stop by and donate gifts for these great charities and share the holiday spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The  Watchman is collecting toys, art supplies, and money for two charities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[20],"tags":[493,494,766,1083,1703,1708,1710,2034,2606,2706],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10510"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rlsh.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
