Photos: Brighton Neighborhood Association’s Annual Holiday Party 2011

What’s better, the gift or the party? Well, over at the Brighton Neighborhood Association, the gift is the party!

The group held its annual holiday party last Thursday, December 15, at the Millenium, throwing it down with some end-of-year merriment. The event, organized by the tenant advocacy group, is a giveback to the community. Our own Erica Sherman was there to shoot it, and here’s what she had to say:

There was lots of lively dancing and music courtesy of DJ Peter Joseph; delicious cookies, pastries and candies; soft drinks; raffles with some pretty awesome prizes (one kid won a very popular name brand winter coat, and at least two won bicycles), and lots of political appearances: Councilman Michael Nelson, Councilman Lew Fidler (on the same night as his mega toy drive), Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz (he shared the mic with a bunch of the kids in the crowd), and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer.

It was, altogether, a great event.
