Borough Wide
Two powerful names in civic pride joined forces Thursday when the Brooklyn Bridge Rotary Club became a card-carrying member of Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.
The alliance was announced — with dues paid in full — shortly after Chamber president Carlos Scissura spoke at the Rotarians’ luncheon at Archives Restaurant in the Brooklyn Marriott Downtown.
“We love what Carlo is doing with the Chamber and we wanted to be a part of it,” said Rotary president Ed Weintrob. “He’s breathing new life into the institution that does plenty of great things for the borough.”
Scissura happily accepted the Rotary club into membership, and looks forward to seeing members at upcoming Chamber events.
“It’s great when new groups join, but you get the most out of membership by coming down and being part of what we do,” Scissura said.
The Rotary Club, which joins the Chamber’s more than 1,300 members, is also celebrating 100 years of Roatarians in Brooklyn.
Visitors are welcome to meetings of the club, with membership in Rotary by invitation. Anyone interested in learning more about Rotary and Rotary in Brooklyn, may visit a meeting or contact any Brooklyn Rotarian.
