Kudos to BBA leaders after excellent annual dinner

The Brooklyn Bar Association Dinner last Monday was an unqualified success, as was evidenced by the willingness of so many to listen to speeches – some quite profound, others tinged with humor – all reflecting well on the honorees and the profession.
We’ll talk more about the big party in our next PBB, but would note that President Domenick Napoletano, President-elect Andy Fallek, Executive Director Avery Okin and crew deserve praise for their dedication in putting on a meaningful display which sent just about everyone home happy. The 90-minute cocktail party helped, too!
