Venetian Gala Table Decoration |
Saturday, May 7, 2011, we attended the Venetian Gala, benefitting the
Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center (TRSAC), located in
Oyster Bay, New York, held at the
Piping Rock Club in
Locust Valley, NY. This annual Gala is held to benefit the
environmental education programs at the Sanctuary and honor the winners of the Sanctuary's highest award for environmental leadership, the 2011 Legacy of Conservation Award. This year the Sanctuary honored Helen Crosson (an old school mate), Alice DelBosco (serving with her on the TRSAC Board), Carol DuBois, and Julie Rinaldini for their legacy of conservation. We attended the event and it was some event. We had a great time, the pass around food was delicious, the band had us dancing our feet off, the bar was well stocked, and the decorations, as you can see from the table setting, were fantastic. Ms.
Bernadette Castro doing the live auction was excellent and generated alot of excitement. It was a grand event that helps the
Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and
Audubon Center bring its environmental education programs to schools and the community, every year.
