    Pictured above (l.-r.) at Barnes & Noble in Carle Place are Winthrop volunteer Maxine Mouyiaris, American Vista volunteer Aleshia Falconer, Winthrop volunteer Ann Kutch, and Dr. Bryson-Brockmann.
    William Bryson-Brockmann, PhD, Chief of the Division of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics at Winthrop, launched the "Reach Out and Read" program at Winthrop approximately six years ago. Through the program, volunteers read to children in the pediatric waiting rooms, and Winthrop physicians give new books to children during their well-child visits. To help raise money to support the program, Dr. Bryson-Brockmann, other Winthrop physicians and volunteers offer free gift wrapping at local book stores during peak shopping season in exchange for voluntary donations.
