Greater Baybrook Alliance (GBA) threw its first annual party celebrating its efforts to promote living in the Brooklyn, Curtis Bay and Brooklyn Park areas. Residents and supporters had a chance to enjoy a number of festivities – as well as getting to know their neighbors – at the shindig put on at the Chesapeake Arts Center.
