City of Newburgh Unit member Chris McGuiness places lighting on the city’s Christmas tree in mid-December. Each year, our members working for the city’s Department of Public Works (DPW) play an integral role in bringing holiday spirit to the city by transporting, setting up and decorating a tree donated by an area resident. Despite massive cuts in DPW in prior years due to budget woes, our members do an amazing job continuing traditions such as these on top of their day-to-day responsibilities. (Photo by Jessica Ladlee)
