Sunday, October 17 · 2:30pm – 3:30pm The Brooklyn Waterfront Artist’s Coalition’s Screening Room Danzas Days is a raw exploration of an even rawer space. Part skate video, part video diary, the film evokes the innocence of youth, even while capturing its loss. A group of Brooklyn teenagers, including director Joseph Mikos, spend one memorable summer transforming an abandoned Gerritsen Beach restaurant, club & swimming pool into a homemade skate park and BMX track. And then the wrecking ball arrives. You can see our screening schedule on our website here: And on our myspace: All of our screenings will take place on October 16th and 17th, 2010, from 1pm to 6pm. We screen inside a Civil War era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront, located at BWAC (The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition). As usual, all of our screenings are free and open to the public, and we will have free popcorn and free Steve’s Key Lime Pies (while supplies last!)

The Annual Timmy “Tub” Girardot Pagans /Women’s Softball Game has become a neighborhood tradition in Gerritsen Beach, for good reason. The game raises boat loads of money for the American Cancer Society. Each year the proceeds are brought to the Prospect Park Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk by a group of Gerritsen Beach residents registered as Team Hope. Team Hope is the only non-commercial group on the American Cancer Society’s list of top ten Brooklyn fundraisers. The success is an example of how one small Brooklyn Community can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Here are the past events in all of their glory
