About 100 seniors from the 80th Assembly District stopped by Mastero's Caterers today to partake in the fun and festivities that was being provided by Assemblyman Gjonaj. Tables were set up with many different games to play from Bridge to Yatzee. Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and Senator Jeff Klein also stopped by to see the seniors, and BP Diaz even partook in a game of Connect Four with one of the seniors. The hottest game being played seemed to be a friendly game of Dominoes by four friends that lasted throughout the event.
Midway there was dancing, and it appears that a replacement to the former 'Dancing District Leader' was found as Hakeem Egbo (a volunteer in the assembly office). During his stay BP Diaz explained the reason that 'The Bronx' is called 'The Bronx', referring to the settling of Jonas Bronckx 350 years ago in the lower part of the borough. Diaz Jr.
