Annual Philanthropic Lunch
On November 11, 2024, a record 162 ladies attended our Annual Philanthropic lunch to raise money for WIN NYC which helps homeless women and families in Queens rebuild their lives and break the cycle of homelessness.
The Lunch was a huge success with a lively atmosphere and plenty of dancing, as well as raffle prizes and beautiful floral decorations!
The Party continued with a Spanish Wine Tasting at the home of Teresa Mitchell, led by Toni Sinclair from the Wine Room of Forest Hills. We were treated to home cooked tapas and a decadent Spanish Chocolate Cake. A huge thanks to Toni Sinclair and Teresa Mitchell for hosting such a tasty and enjoyable evening.
