GENERALLY SPEAKING: Bay Ridge Community Council will be trading places
For more than two decades, the Bay Ridge Community Council has been holding its annual June dinner dance in Mill Basin at the El Caribe catering hall. Due to escalating costs and to lessen the long trek, the Dinner Dance Committee with the approval of the council’s executive board has decided to hold this year’s event at nearby Sirico’s on 13th Avenue.
Prior to 1990, this major bash was held on Staten Island at the former Shalimar catering facility on Hylan Boulevard. The council’s 64th Anniversary celebration will take place on Thursday evening, June 4, 2015.
