Brooklyn's Progress
April/May 2008

BY JILL D’AMICO

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce held its February Business After Hours at the historic Akwaaba Mansion bed and breakfast in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Feb. 28.

Brooklyn Chamber staff and Members gathered to network over fine food and drink, sponsored by Con Edison.

A 1860s landmark mansion, Akwaaba has been meticulously restored, including 14-foot ceilings and ornate fireplaces.

Richard Campbell of Chase was the door prize winner for the night, walking away with a year’s membership to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
