Norwalk Councilman Luigi Vernola receives a “Pride of the 58th” certificate of recognition from California Assemblywoman Christina Garcia from the 58th district. Vernola was honored for his work for a foundation he founded called Santa’s Sleigh that provides free toys, food and turkeys for the less fortunate that reside in Los Angeles County. Vernola also has a huge Rose Parade type float that he rides around in December in his home city of Norwalk dressed as Santa giving children Christmas toys for free. Photo and caption by Brian Hews.
