Despite bitter cold, roughly 100 people joined Bay Improvement Group organizers at St. Mark’s Catholic School last night for their annual

Holiday Caroling and

Toy Drive and Celebrity Concert. President Steve Barrison said approximately 180 kids benefited from this year’s drive, with more than 205 toys collected last night. An additional 40 to 50 had been delivered on December 20, after their original date was delayed because of the snowstorm. All the recipients this year were under 10 years old, he added.
