BAY RIDGE — The 12:30 Club, one of the oldest organizations in Bay Ridge, founded nearly a century ago, held its October meeting earlier this month at the Greenhouse Café, the first with newly-minted President Brian Chin, and the Brooklyn Eagle had a front-row seat to the two-hour-plus shindig.
The exclusive club’s charter is dedicated to the promotion of the general welfare of its members, as well as the promotion of economic welfare of Bay Ridge. These objectives are encouraged by means of discussions, instruction, entertainment and social gatherings, allowing local businesses and professionals to exchange information and ideas.
Informal yet informative
The Oct. 1 meeting was casual, informal, educational and relatively intimate as there were 25 people in attendance. It also featured two very interesting, albeit uniquely different guest speakers.
12:30 Club member John Abi-Habib spoke to the group about Artificial Intelligence and cyber security, while retired NYPD Captain John Walsh had a discussion about a very unexpected and unorthodox topic: serial killers.
