This year’s speaker was Hon. Joy Campanelli, the supervising judge of the Richmond County Civil Court. Judge Campanelli has been a long-time member of the association.

The group also celebrated the birthday of one of its oldest members, George Siracuse, the association’s historian. Siracuse could barely contain his emotions as the group presented him with a cake for the occasion.

SUNSET PARK — “As a resident of Marine Park, one of the great surprises I found biking around Industry City and visiting Japan Village was to discover Bush Terminal Park. I continue to be amazed at the serene hideaways that the city offers in some of the busiest places — and, still, with an iconic view.”
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — ‘A miracle that no one was killed …’ That’s what neighbors are saying about the collapse of the Hotel St. George marquee. Shown in this photograph are workmen beginning the removal and repair of the historic, old neon sign at the corner, referencing a relic of Brooklyn Heights’ past: the St. George Hotel.
