Bay Ridge Lawyers honor outgoing President Grace Borrino during annual dinner dance
The Bay Ridge Lawyers Association packed nearly 200 judges, lawyers and other dignitaries into Battery Gardens in Manhattan for its 62nd annual dinner dance on Thursday night, where it honored outgoing President Grace M. Borrino.
Borrino was sent out with dinner, drinks and a lot of dancing, and she was honored by a short speech by her friend and mentor RoseAnn C. Branda. Past President Pat Russo also bestowed her with citations from local politicians and the state Sen. Marty Golden, from Bay Ridge, was on hand to present her with a citation.
“Tonight we gather to celebrate the accomplishments of this year’s president, Grace Borrino,” Branda said. “Grace tackled this presidency with vigor and enthusiasm. She raised membership and involved new, younger attorneys in this organization.
