500 kids will be having a merrier Christmas this year, thanks to AREW Charitable Trust's annual Secret Santa program. Yesterday at an AREW lunch at Park 101, the org collected a record number of toys, clothes, books, and other items from the wish lists of children from Women In Need, a non-profit that helps NYC women and their children break the cycle of homelessness. We snapped Douglas Elliman's Faith Hope Consolo, Sun & Moon Marketing's Madelyne Kirch, JLC Environmental Consultant's Jennifer Carey, Zetlin & De Chiara's Lina Telese, Paramount Group's Cindy Boyea, HJ Kalikow's Dorothy Vermeer, and Paramount Group's Susan Klingelhoefer.

We also snapped Lina with AREW honorees Kramer Levin attorney Michael Sillerman (for support of the organization) and GuardHill Financial's Rochelle Crespi (treasurer for the past three years). Lina's handing over the office of AREW president to New York Law School's Erin Bond for 2014.
