Santas Wanted
The turnout, like the weather, was poor for the tree lighting at the Maidstone Arms in East Hampton Village on Friday. That meant a terrible showing for the Kiwanis Club's Toys for Tots drive; "a great need" remains.
It's not too late to donate unwrapped new toys for girls and boys up to age 16. They can be dropped off at Pumpernickel's Deli, Cook Pony Farm, the Post Office, Dreesen's Market, the Coach Factory Store, and Village Hardware in East Hampton; Body Tech in Amagansett; Gaviola's Market and Suffolk County National Bank in Montauk, and Pet Hampton in Wainscott. East Hampton High School seniors will collect the gifts on Dec. 16 and wrap them the next day for distribution to needy youngsters.
