BRONX, NY – State Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester), in partnership with the Fleetwood Neighborhood Association, hosted their third annual tree lighting at Fleetwood Playground on Sunday, December 4. Community leaders, business owners and families enjoyed hot cocoa, holiday snacks, live holiday music and an appearance by Santa.
“I am thrilled to host this third annual tree lighting in partnership with The Fleetwood Neighborhood Association, which has become a cherished tradition for our local families. Today we created lasting memories as we enjoyed these festivities. As 2016 draws to a close, I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday, and a new year filled with good health and prosperity,” said Senator Jeff Klein.
The tree lighting began in the late afternoon with caroling by Saints Peter & Paul and Saint Ursula Church’s Children’s Choir. The event featured a seven-foot tall Christmas tree and a special appearance by Santa, who distributed treats to the attendees. Mayor Richard Thomas and County Legislator David Tubiolo were in attendance.
“Every year, Fleetwood residents look forward to our tree lighting, where we can celebrate the holidays with friends, family and the whole community,” said Michael Justino, President of the Fleetwood Neighborhood Association. “We would especially like to thank Senator Jeff Klein for helping us to put together this tree lighting for Fleetwood.”
