Kingston, NY – Assemblymember Kevin Cahill (D- Ulster, Dutchess) attended a Holiday event for the Everette Hodge Community Center and the Rondout Neighborhood Center on Friday at the Midtown Neighborhood Center in Kingston. There were approximately 300 people in attendance including children who participate in the after school programs at each Center and their families.

The evening event, coordinated by the City of Kingston’s Parks and Recreation Department and Megan Weiss from FAMILY of Woodstock, included dinner, games, stockings stuffed with goodies and a viewing of The Polar Express. The Assemblyman gave a variety of books to the Centers from his Book Drive that will be used as stocking stuffers and attended the event to read an excerpt from Chris Van Allsberg’s, The Polar Express, one of his holiday favorites.
