Cobble Hill residents Henry Ferreria and Rita Beaudette with Alderman Dennis “Santa “Sullivan

This past Saturday, Cobble Hill elders were treated to Christmas carols and cupcakes sponsored by Ward One Alderman Matt McLaughlin.
A group of youths from Teen Empowerment sang traditional songs, recited a Christmas poem, and gave a spectacular trumpet performance.
Also in attendance were Aldermen Bill White, Jack Connolly, Mary Jo Rossetti and Dennis “Santa “Sullivan to help spread the cheer.
“It is great to see young people coming out on a Saturday morning to visit elders and to brighten our day and holiday spirit,” remarked several seniors in attendance.
Longtime Cobble Hill residents Henry Ferreria and Rita Beaudette (pictured top) told some newer neighbors that “these people (aldermen) don’t just come here when there is an election. They are always available for us and never further than a phone call away. We look at them more as friends than politicians.”
As the group was leaving, Cobble Hill residents extended a return invitation to their annual Christmas banquet to be held at the Holiday Inn later this week.
