(Chappaqua, NY) Members of the Polly Cooper Chapter, NSDAR were delighted to spread some holiday cheer to 12 local children-in-need through the Kinship Support Program of the Family Service Society of Yonkers. A gift was chosen from each child’s three-item wish list, then wrapped and donated in time for a special delivery from the North Pole.
