As Bay Ridge gears up for a milestone Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, the event’s committee hosted its annual gala. The gala – held this year at the El Caribe Country Club in Mill Basin on Saturday, February 3 – serves as both a fundraiser for the local organization and as a means to spotlight the year’s honorees.
“It was wonderful,” remarked Parade Committee President Linda Gallagher-Lomanto. “We had 445 people and, while we raised a lot of money that will go towards the parade, it’s mostly about the community getting together to celebrate our Irish culture through music and dance, and, of course, to recognize the honorees.”
