On Saturday, December 16, Assemblyman William Colton (D—Gravesend, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach and Dyker Heights) visited the Marlboro Houses to distribute toys to children living there during the development’s annual holiday party.

Working in conjunction with the Marlboro Residents Association, President Angie Herrera and members of the association, Assemblyman Colton, his new Co-Chief of Staff Dr. Larry He and veteran staff member Shirley Yip helped to hand out the presents to the eager and excited children.

“It was wonderful to visit with the residents of Marlboro Houses and share some holiday joy with the families living there,” said Assemblyman Colton. “It’s an event I look forward to every year. Everyone had a truly wonderful time, and I’m so delighted that I was able to be part of the celebration.”
