The Keystone Chapter of UNICO held its annual Christmas Party at Fiorelli’s Banquet Facility. This is the sixth Christmas Keystone conducted its Toys for Tots Drive with two U.S. Marines present to pick up the treasure trove of gifts the members donated.

Luigi Palazzi, Chapter Heritage and Culture Chairman, spoke on various Italian Christmas customs. Entertainment was offered up by local vocalist Jim Cerminaro, who also did a duet with chapter member Toni DiVizio. Program chairman Marge Ruggiero led a great Christmas “Sing Along” with a little comedy included.
