Dryden elves deliver cheer

Dryden employees collected enough food, toys and goods to make 60 holiday baskets for area families.

In an unrelated effort, Arcata Associates employees teamed up with the Salvation Army's Adopt-A-Family and collected and wrapped books, toys and gifts for four families.

Adrienne Ford and Alex Castelazo collect some of the food, toys, clothes and other goods collected by generous Dryden employees.
