NoLandGrab: As a companion piece to the Errol Louis column today, we thought we would share this story and photo from June 2007 that we seem to have missed. The photo is of Errol Louis on the right, Nets legend Darryl Dawkins on the left.
Brooklyn, NY - June 6, 2007 - The Brooklyn Bureau of Community Service celebrated 141 years of building stronger and healthier individuals, families and communities in New York City at a recent event at Bridgewaters in Manhattan. The 141st Anniversary Celebration event, which nearly 500 people attended, was generously supported by Barclays, the title sponsor.

The Honorable Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn Borough President, and his wife, Jamie Markowitz, served as Honorary Chairs for the event. New York Daily News Columnist, Errol Louis, served as Master of Ceremonies, and New Jersey Nets legend Darryl Dawkins served as Celebrity Auctioneer for the Nets' live sports memorabilia auction.Notable guests included Jason Kidd of the Nets; Bruce Ratner, President and CEO of Forest City Ratner Companies; Gerard LaRocca, Chief Administrative Officer, Americas, Barclays Capital; Charles J. Hamm, Chairman Emeritus of the Brooklyn Bureau of Community Service; and Brett Yormark, President and CEO of Nets Sports and Entertainment.
Atlantic Yards Report found this event announcement back in August and had this to say:
I don't know the Daily News's ethical guidelines, but if Louis worked at the New York Times, he'd probably be running afoul of the guideline that says:
[Staffers] may not lend their names to campaigns, benefit dinners or similar events if doing so might reasonably raise doubts about their ability or their newsroom's ability to remain neutral in covering the news.
