THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2024 Page 7 ~ GUEST COMMENTARY ~ Gerry D’Ambrosio Knows What This Holiday Is All About By Sal Giarratani Y ou know, last year I got myself invited to Atty. Gerry D’Ambrosio’s Annual Food Drive and Holiday Celebration and I must say it was one of the best Christmas Parties I have ever attended. It was held at Spinelli’s up on Route 1 and I can still remember how much fun I had, and it was all for a good cause: a Food Drive for the many out there who are not as lucky as many of us have been. Remembering those around us in need of basic necessities like food reminds us of our commonality with all we share this world of ours with. We all share this life of ours together. We are all human beings and, as we are reminded at this time of year, all children of our God. Feed the hungry is one of the beatitudes we learned back in childhood. Gerry does that every year and so many help him do so, especially right here in the City of Revere. However, this year, for whatever reason, I forgot about Gerry’s annual time and missed it. I won’t be doing that again next year. What a great way for folks to end a long tired year — by celebrating the goodness inside each of us. I am sure that Kowloon’s this year was just as packed as the celebration I attended on the other side of Route 1 a year ago. Once again, hundreds attended and thousands of nonperishable and canned foods were donated at this annual Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law time, and food pantries in Salem, Revere and Everett were well stocked for the many out there who depend on these food pantries to survive one person at a time and one family at a time. Kudos to Attorney Gerry D’Ambrosio, who never forgets where he came from and seeks to help those who are truly in need not only at this time but year-round. Like I said, we are all traveling on one road here on this planet. We need to look out for each other. Gerry and so many who work with him never forget and make this holiday season one of joy for everyone who needs joy. Which is all of us. Merry Christmas, Seasons Greetings, Happy Holidays, etc., etc., etc. For Advertising with Results, call he Adv cate Ne spapers call The Advocate Newspapers at 781-286-8500 or Info@advocatenews.net Is Your Estate in Order?
