Bay Ridge lawyer helps autistic teens go to prom
Bath Beach Kiwanis Club made dreams come true
The 86th Street Kiwanis Club of Bath Beach helped make some dreams come true for a group of autistic high school students on Tuesday night as it hosted a Dream Prom at Sirico’s on 13th Avenue in Bensonhurst.
The event is in its third year, and Steve Spinelli, the next president of the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association, has been one of the primary organizers since its inception.
“Three years ago, we heard of another club in Staten Island that was doing it,” Spinelli explained. “We had a meeting with them and they helped us with it. We used their model, but we gave it our little Brooklyn twist and it has been a big success since then.”
