Saturday afternoon Santa stopped by the Sonia Sotomayor Community Center in Soundview to help Assemblyman Marcos Crespo give the Soundview community a huge Christmas party. The event was co-sponsored by the Sheet Metal Workers Local 28 who are with Santa before he left for his next event. Several elected officials were in the house including Bronx Borough president Ruben Diaz Jr., City Councilman Ruben Diaz Sr., and 87th A.D. District Leader John Perez. Music and entertainment was provided by FPJ Amusements, and a good time was had by all who attended.
