An Event-Full June

This month confirmed that there is never a dull moment at Auster Agency!

Live rock-n-roll music at the Williamsburg waterfront on June 3rd for "Family Fun on the Williamsburg Pier," an outdoor festival and free concert presented by Elaine and Norm Brodsky to benefit Camp Brooklyn. Families indulged in delicious barbecue food and beer sponsored by Brooklyn Brewery. For the sweet tooth in all of us, there were also plenty of Italian ices and ice cream by Uncle Louie G’s to go around. When kids weren’t dancing the day away, they were jumping around in the bouncy castle, getting their faces painted, eating cotton candy, or getting inked with temporary rock-themed tattoos. Unique to the event was Frolic! Rock Fest, the best kid-rock concert of the season! Musical guests included the ever-talented Tracy Bonham and her new band, Topsy Bonsai and the Tangs; the high energy Little Rock-Its featuring Tim Kubart of Tim and the Space Cadets; singer-songwriter, Suzi Shelton; family band, Audrarox; the best drum-lines around, Maracatu NY; and smooth sounding Larry g(EE). The Frolic! Rock Fest transformed a typical Sunday into a rockin' family fun day!

Four days later, we slipped into our dresses to produce the 90th Anniversary Gala at Cipriani Wall Street for Brooklyn Technical High School's Alumni Foundation. An engaging program hosted by NY1's Jeanine Ramirez included a heartwarming documentary featuring Brooklyn Tech's impressive history and the induction of three significant Tech leaders into the Hall of Fame: Matt Mandery, Achilles Perry, and Michael Weiss. All through the night, guests grooved to classic tunes by Rick Mango, featuring a special guest appearance by Prentiss McNeil of The Drifters.

To round out the eventful month, we took a trip to the Bronx for some fitness fun! On Saturday, June 16th, the rooftop deck of Bronx Terminal Market transformed into an outdoor gym for an exciting Zumba class with some of the best instructors from Bronx YMCA. After working up a sweat, participants met Hip-Hop Legend, Grandmaster Mele-Mel, host of BronxNet’s Grandmaster Fitness segment. Mele-Mel shared creative workout routines and tips for healthy eating. Shoppers also took advantage of special promotions and discounts on athletic wear offered by retailers at Bronx Terminal Market!
