The Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) Long Island, NY Region Veterans Committee was busy spreading lots of holiday cheer to area veterans in December. CSEA members from all over the Long Island Region gave generously and the committee collected many boxes full of toiletries, warm socks, sweats, underwear and other items. Then the committee members made a couple of trips to deliver them in person. Committee members Ed Hussey from Smithtown Library, Pilgrim 2nd Vice President Herman Williams and Chair Maryann Phelps are assisted by Oyster Bay Local Executive Vice President Bobby Rauff.
