MARINE PARK — The 41st Assembly District Lew Fidler Democratic Club held its 22nd annual Toys for Tots holiday toy drive on Thursday evening, once again dedicating it to the memory of the late Brooklyn City Council member and longtime Democratic political operative for whom the club is named.
The U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots local drive, organized by the club, has donated more than 85,000 toys in the 22 years since the drive’s establishment first began, when they first bundled together just 79 toys for kids.
The event, which took place in a relatively small storefront space on Avenue R near Haring Street, was packed to the gills with a number of Democratic district leaders and community members.
