Can you tell how happy we were to recieve official certificates from the great borough of Brooklyn?

Marty came prepared. The certificates presented to the City Reliquary from Brooklyn Borough Hall actually included pictures of the Reliquary printed on them!

Yet another crowd gathers to view the city relics.

V.P. George has no shame when it comes to chomping on bagels from Marty’s favorite bagel store.

Bill tries on his new sash. V.P. of Collections fits him quite well.

Here, our own “V.P. of Seams,” Cal Patch attempts to pin on her latest creation. I gladly accept the fitting!

What an impressive spread of local Brooklyn baked cheescakes.

Marty delivers a poignant address to the friends of the Reliquary on one of the coldest Saturdays of the season. The people of Williamsburgh who came to see him all paid close attention as his comments are particularly important regarding the re-zoning of our waterfront. Just days earlier, Marty had defended the people of our neighborhood when he voted against City Hall’s ill-considered city plan for North Brooklyn. We hope in the future, City Hall will send somemone across the East River before deciding our fate.

Here are the friends of the Reliquary. The reason why the City Reliquary is now officially “For the People – Not for Profit.”

It was quite a cold morning on our corner of Grand and Havemeyer Sts. in Williamsburgh. But the people prevailed. A little Brooklyn-baked cheesecake helped out!
