Even with heavy rain drops falling all over her clothing, McDonald still found time to welcome the crowd for the lighting of the Malverne Christmas tree and Crèche.

Dozens of Malverne residents gathered in the rainy and snowy weather last Saturday to celebrate the holidays as a village. From left are resident Ann Cappolla, 80-year resident Ruth Lerza, Malverne Mayor Patricia McDonald, and residents Pat Greenfield and Frank Cappolla.
The inclement weather last Saturday prompted the Village of Malverne to cancel many of its annual Holiday Lighting festivities. Residents and village officials, however, still braved the cold and rainy weather that evening to light the village’s Christmas tree and Nativity scene.
