The Rotary Club of Verrazano-Brooklyn held its 46th annual gala last Friday evening at the Hilton Garden Inn in Staten Island, filling the room to maximum capacity and honoring those that put “Service Above Self.” The event took place at the hotel’s Above Ballroom, showcasing 20-foot high floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular panoramic views of the New York City skyline.

Among the honorees were Dominick Ciccarelli, who was given the “Man of the Year” award. Ciccarelli, a New York City-based entrepreneur with a strategic portfolio of business experience in the construction, architectural and real estate industries, told the Brooklyn Eagle that he is “completely honored” by the acknowledgment.
