Beach 116th Brightens Up

Spirits were merry and bright at the Beach 116th Street Christ-
mas Tree Lighting on Saturday, December 1. Despite some light
rain later in the night, a large crowd came out to enjoy singing
by PS 114 and Channel View students, hot chocolate and good-
ies, and even a visit from Santa Claus. Father Bill of St. Fran-
cis de Sales led a prayer before the tree, donated by Mazzone
Hardware, was lit for the season and Queens Borough President
Melinda Katz sang before Santa arrived to take pictures with lo-
cal children. This event was made possible by Assembly District
Leader Lew Simon, Liz Hanna, Rockawaves DJs and others.
