Smithtown, NY 11787 –On Friday, December 7, 2012, St. Catherine of Siena Nursing & Rehabilitation Care Center, located at 52 Rt. 25A, Smithtown, hosted a Craft Vendor Holiday Fair. This event was held from 9:30am – 4:00pm in the lower level of St. Catherine Nursing & Rehabilitation Center.  There was a variety of vendors selling jewelry, accessories, candles, holiday centerpieces as well as other assorted items.  The residents also participated by making handmade bracelets and selling them to raise funds to purchase bicycles for families in need.  Due the generosity of staff and visitors enough money was raised to purchase two bicycles and helmets.  This gave the residents a wonderful feeling of giving back to all those who support them throughout the year. This was a great event in which families, staff and community came together for such a great cause.
