Charles Mackoff, President of the Vizcaya Men’s Club, (shown in gray jacket) and a dedicated group of Vizcaya residents: Steve West, Joan and Morrie Berger, Ken Markowitz and Les Maxik packed more than 400 toys contributed by Vizcaya community residents into two vans, at 8:30 Tuesday morning December 18.
At 10 A.M. the group traveled to Chris Evert Children’s Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Fl. in the toy packed vans and spent the day distributing the playthings to those that need it the most: ailing children in these two hospitals.

Mackoff who has been active in the Free Sons of Israel organization for over 40 years, had their Florida chapters and Foundation add 200 toys which were also given to the children.
