Bay Ridge Lawyers celebrates outgoing president Margaret Stanton
The Bay Ridge Lawyers Association honored its outgoing president Margaret Stanton during its annual dinner that was held at Casa Belvedere, the Italian Cultural Foundation in Staten Island Friday night.
Approximately 200 attorneys, judges, court employees and their families gathered at the mansion for dinner and dancing. About midway through, past President Pat Russo interrupted the crowded dining room to start a ceremony dedicated to Stanton.
Russo presented Stanton with citations and proclamations from local politicians including Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan, Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis and City Councilmember Justin Brannan. He then introduced state Rep. Marty Golden.
