I have a suggestion for people of New York City to attend some great free special events each month. These events are special award events ceremonies sponsored by the City of New York City Comptroller William Thompson Jr special events department. Here is why I'm suggesting it and what the details are.

First, Comptroller William Thompson Jr. honors different members of the New York City community with awards for their outstanding leadership. He honors people from all types of background with these awards. The award benefactors can range from civil service, entertainment people, religious people or writers. He recently honored the writer Walter Mosely and former mayor David Dinkins wife for Black History month along with six other great people. He usually gives about six award and tells the audience a summary of the award recipient accomplishments. Then he gives them the opportunity to speak. It is great to hear briefly about award recipients accomplishments and then get inspired by all they have done in their field.

Comptroller William Thompson Jr award events always have a different theme each time. He has a Greek Heritage month, an Irish special event and a Women's Heritage month events coming up very soon. Some of these events take place at City Hall, or the Chamber Surrogate Court Building or in the nearby downtown Manhattan area. The event location depends on the crowd that is expected. If you attend an event at City Hall or the Surrogate Court Building use this great opportunity to see the beautiful agriculture and building structures of these beautiful decorated places.

Each event always has some form of entertainment that happen at the second half of the event. Comptroller Thompson usually has school children or inspirational chorus singers participate in the events by singing some songs.
