Bay Ridge
Three cheers for Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis (R–Bay Ridge). The altruistic official helped out Santa by delivering toys to the children at the Guild For Exceptional Children Early Childhood Center in Bay Ridge. The special delivery was part of our pal’s annual holiday toy drive.
Gifts were collected locally in partnership with Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church, the Dimitrios and Georgia Kaloidis Parochial School, and the Salam Arabic Lutheran Church. And the crusading pol didn’t forget our servicemen and women or their families — she delivered to soldiers at Fort Hamilton Garrison to make the season a bit brighter.
Malliotakis thanked residents of Bay Ridge for helping her to bring holiday cheer to locals in need of a boost.
“We’re all so very proud to organize this toy drive every year and bring smiles to the faces of children in our community,” she said.
Standing O — and Santa — thank you, assemblywoman!
