The holiday spirit was in full swing this weekend as Clifton FMBA Local 21, Clifton PBA Local 36, and the Clifton High School Key Club partnered with Kim Castellano and the Power of One organization for the annual Children’s Christmas Party at the Clifton Italian American Club.
Children of all ages lined up with excitement for an early visit with Santa, each receiving a special gift to kick off the Christmas season. The event was filled with smiles, laughter, and holiday cheer as families came together to celebrate.
Members of FMBA 21 and PBA 36, along with the dedicated students of the Key Club, volunteered their time to cook and serve food to guests—ensuring a warm meal and a welcoming environment for all who attended. Their teamwork and community spirit helped make the day memorable and meaningful.
