Brooklyn's Progress
June/July 2007

BY JILL SHEEHY

It was the perfect spring evening when the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce hosted the May 23 Business After Hours networking event at Crystal’s Bar and Lounge at Crystal Manor, located at 1458 Flatbush Ave. in East Flatbush.

The gracious hosts of the evening were Grace Johnson, president and CEO of Crystal Manor, and her son Kevin Johnson, who is the director of marketing and entertainment. Both made sure the event went off without a hitch.

Members came to sample food and drink provided by Crystal Manor, the full-service catering and banquet facility that is adjacent Crystal’s Bar and Lounge.

The evening’s raffle was won by Chamber Member Pia Hargrove, president of Legacy Awards, Inc. The prize was a perfect springtime treat – four box seats to a Brooklyn Cyclones game.     

Crystal Manor hosts weddings, anniversaries, bridal showers, business meetings and any type of party you can imagine. Their newly renovated facilities are top-class and offer total elegance and luxury, all within your reach. For more information on this gem, call 718-859-2141, or visit http://www.crystalmanor.net/.
