The Theodore Korony Post and
Auxiliary hosted a toy drive with
Locust Point Civic Association and
its sister legion posts. More than 900
children in underprivileged Bronx
communities will get toys from the
drive. The initiative was started by
former post commander Joseph Mazzariello,
who died in 2009 and believed
no child should go without a
toy for Christmas.
