On Wednesday night, several Chinatown organizations came together to thank Councilmember Alan Gerson for his 8 years of service to the community. He was honored during an early evening party at the Chinatown Consolidated Benevolent Association on Mott Street. The event was sponsored by Asian Americans for Equality, Confucius Plaza, Local 23-25-Workers United, the Chinese American Planning Council, the Open Door Senior Center and the Better Chinatown Society. Comptroller-elect John Liu stopped by. Gerson has said he has a strong desire to stay in public service when his term ends in a few days.
