BATH BEACH TO GRAVESEND — ASSEMBLYMEMBER WILLIAM COLTON brought some merriment to his constituents as he visited community groups and senior centers across his district in the days leading up to Thanksgiving to distribute turkeys that were then raffled off to eager members. Colton, who represents Assembly District 47, visited the JCH Senior Center, parish of Most Precious Blood & St. Mary, St. Finbar Center, Our Lady of Grace, the Sephardic Center, St. Athanasius Center, St. Simon & Jude parish, Narrows at the Lodge Senior Center, St. Dominic’s and the Marlboro Center. He also joined in at the Marlboro Houses turkey giveaway. Also receiving turkeys were the Chinese American Social Services Center (CASS) and the United Chinese Association (UCA). Donors included the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, the Pakistani American Youth Organization (PAYO), the Zhanjiang Association of America and Chaim Deutsch.

The turkey distribution is a long-standing tradition for Colton, who said, “I always enjoy visiting with area residents, particularly at this festive time. These organizations are such an important resource for area residents, and I am very gratified to be able to support them each year.”
