Aidala stars in Chamber of Commerce Winter Gala
Arthur Aidala, the honoree and “Man for All Seasons” at the Winter Gala of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, proved beyond a doubt that he is “Brooklyn through and through.” He still lives on the same Bay Ridge block where his father Louis taught him how to ride a bicycle when he was a child. And he declared publicly last week at the gala that when he and his fiancée Marianne Bertuna get married, they will live in Bay Ridge.
On Dec. 17, the El Caribe Country Club in Mill Basin was packed to capacity with family, friends and admirers from civic, business, religious and legal organizations, all of whom came to honor Aidala, who is also the newly elected president of the Brooklyn Bar Association, a Fox News channel legal analyst and a college lecturer.
The attendees, who included a number of elected officials, also paid tribute to the Chamber of Commerce, which under the leadership of President and CEO Carlo Scissura now boasts more than 2,200 members.
