We were reading down a long list of luminaries being inducted into the New York City Hall of Fame this weekend, including names like chef Lidia Matticchio Bastianich and musician Tito Puente, when we came across a very figure from South Brooklyn: Craig Hammerman. Mr. Hammerman is the District Manager of Community Board 6 and is being inducted in the volunteerism category. Here’s what the press release says about him:

an extraordinary community volunteer who motivates and organizes citizens to solve problems and improve lives. His volunteer positions include: Chairman of the Board, Prospect Park Track Club; Ombudsman for the P.S. 372 PTA Executive Board; Park Slope Civic Council Trustee; Honorary member of the Police Department’s Honor Legion; and Founder and Executive Director of Friends of Brooklyn Community Board 6, Inc.

The induction ceremony is Saturday afternoon (12/8) in Flushing. Congratulations to Mr. Hammerman.
