This was what it was on Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at 4:00 PM in the auditorium of P.S. 216, on Fox Street. Giving toys to about 1,000 children no matter what political party you belong to. I say that because it was the New York State Republican Party with state Republican leader Ed Cox, incoming State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, Republican candidate for governor (and Westchester County Executive) Rob Astorino, and Salsa legend Willie Colon who helped Democratic State Senator Ruben Diaz Sr. (and Santa).
That was what the Banner read - State Senator Ruben Siaz Sr. and Hon. Edward F. Cox.
Left - The senator's helpers fill up the stage with toys before the crowd comes in.
Right - Is only part of the crowd that filled the auditorium, and stretched around the corner of the school.
The children of Rompedores de Atmosfera gave a beautiful performance before the toy giveaway.
It was Rob Astorino, Ed Cox, then after the man from one of the toy companies was Dean Skelos, Willie Colon, Luis Sepulveda, and a representative of the armed forces.
Rob Astorino spoke first, and thanked Senator Diaz for his endorsement in the governor's race in the November election.
Salsa Legend Willie Colon says hello to the crowd.
Senator Diaz Sr. even received a gift of a guitar from the new leader of the state senate Dean Skelos, who said that Senator Diaz Sr. could now become 'The singing cowboy state senator'.
