Seneca Club honors local community members during annual dinner
The Seneca Club of Brooklyn hosted its 118th anniversary dinner dance on Tuesday where it honored local community members including everyone from Mayor Bill de Blasio to small-business owners at Giando on the Water in Williamsburg.
“This is about recognizing the people that make Brooklyn a great community,” said organizer Steve Cohn. “This isn’t about necessarily honoring the biggest names we can find, but instead it’s about showing people that we care about them even if they’re contributing in ways that people don’t see.”
Fifty-one people were honored at the event, which focuses more on dinner and dancing than it does on speeches.
