Colton salutes southwest Brooklyn’s ‘Women of Distinction’
More than a dozen women were presented with New York State Assembly citations for their work on behalf of their southwest Brooklyn communities in a ceremony hosted by Assemblyman Bill Colton on April 23.
The women were honored for their efforts in business, education, humanitarian work, military service, civic affairs, health care, government and volunteer work at the ceremony, which took place in the Community Room, 29 Bay 25th St. in Bensonhurst.
Colton (D-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) called it the “Women of Distinction Awards” and presented each recipient with a citation and a rose.
