Pelham Parkway Neighborhood Association Fundraiser

The Pelham Parkway Neighborhood Assocation had its annual spring event, a fundraiser at Maestros in Morris Park, in which Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj and members Alex Nilaj and Elaine Feder were honored, as well as the ownership of the Lydig Coffee House, for their contributions to the association and the East Bronx community at-large.  Proclamations were given, drinks were enjoyed, laughs were had and “swag” from the local banks were acquired. (See piggy bank below).  Fun times. (Photos by Annie Boller)
