The Bay Ridge Lawyers Association (BRLA) once again brought festive joy to the community with its annual Breakfast with Santa event on Saturday, Dec. 2 at Sirico’s in Dyker Heights.
The popular event, organized by past presidents Joann Monaco and Margaret Stanton, featured a brunch, an Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest, arts and crafts, a piñata, a Build-A-Bear station, a photo booth and a much-anticipated visit from Santa Claus himself.
Attendees of the event were encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy for donation to the children of Fort Hamilton military personnel, continuing the BRLA’s tradition of community giving. Adam Kalish, the current president of the BRLA, praised Monaco and Stanton for their dedication to this cherished annual tradition, which not only brings members of the bar and community together but also supports a noble cause.
