BRCC honors community members at Hidden Treasures Awards
Seven of Bay Ridge’s involved community members and activists were honored for their work by the Bay Ridge Community Council at the 11th annual Hidden Treasures of the Community Awards, held at Shore Hill Housing on Tuesday, February 24.
“It’s known as the Hidden Treasures of the Community Awards but it was created to recognize and thank the people in the community who have given their time, talent and treasures over the years,” said BRCC Co-Chair Alexander Conti. “It was the council’s desire to highlight those contributors, both individuals and groups that are unsung heroes in the Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, and Fort Hamilton area.”
According to Conti, those honored with the award represent “quiet participation and activism within the community.”
