The Rotary Club of Verrazano celebrated its 47th annual gala, packed with capacity attendees, to honor exemplary service. Frank Naccarato received the Man of the Year award for his extensive community contributions, including his roles at Maimonides Health and the Federation of Italian-American Organizations. Caroline Mansuetto was recognized with the Community Service Award for her longstanding work in fundraising and support for individuals with disabilities. Other notable honors included Paul Harris Fellowships awarded to several community leaders, underscoring the spirit of Rotary's motto, 'Service Above Self.'
Frank Naccarato expressed his gratitude for receiving the Man of the Year award, saying, 'It's simply overwhelming to receive this award. I'm truly honored.'
Caroline Mansuetto, the recipient of the Community Service Award, has deep community roots and is active in supporting children and adults with disabilities through the Guild for Exceptional Children.
Paul Harris Fellowships were awarded to several individuals for their outstanding contributions, highlighting the Rotary's commitment to community service.
Naccarato humorously suggested that his award was perhaps undeserved, quipping, 'I guess nobody else wanted it,' but praised the event's quality.
