M D A s Holiday Party By: Jackie Puerta The holiday spirit came to the MDA Neuromuscular Center at Columbia, as MDA families gathered to celebrate the holidays. On Saturday, December 15th, the families came together to take part in celebrating the Holidays. It was a very cold day, but that didn't stop the families from attending the event. The day was filled with party games, caroling, dancing and some surprises! The kids had a wonderful time competing in the caroling contest. Parents enjoyed meeting each other and conversing. To top of the celebration…Santa's helpers dropped off some cool gifts for everyone in attendance, which brought smiles to the children's faces. Michele Galioto, from the MDA Manhattan team states, "Since the holidays are a time for family and friends to connect, it's a wonderful opportunity for everyone in the MDA family to celebrate together." MDA would like to give thanks to Dr. Mitsumoto and Olena Jennings for making arrangements and providing the space for the Holiday party. In addition, a special mention and gratitude to D'Agastino's Supermarkets for donating the wonderful refreshments and making this occasion a memorable one!
