    • Tuesday: DOT will give a presentation to Brooklyn CB 9 about Nostrand Avenue Select Bus Service. It doesn't appear there will be a vote of any kind, but a few friendly faces in the crowd wouldn't hurt. (Lest we forget last month's CB 15 briefing.) 7 p.m.
    • Wednesday: The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative hosts a cocktail party benefit. 6 p.m.
