Gabriel, Ann, Francesca and Jennifer Hernandez, children of Sylvia Hernandez of Central Islip, are shown with Joseph Von Essen at the AHRC holiday party at the Babylon Masonic Lodge. Joseph Von Essen is the master this year and he assisted serving the children. Bill Delgano started these parties over 25 years ago. Delgano greeted each child before they saw Santa and received a gift.
