The event was a huge success!! A great time was had by all!!
(UPDATE: to date, almost $17,000 has been raised from this event, and we are still counting!)
Kay Pistone Carucci (who heads up the effort to raise the needed funds for the New Yonkers Animal Shelter,) Augie Cambria - Commissioner of the City Dept. of Parks - and volunteer committee member, Mayor Phil Amicone (who attended and is genuinely serious about getting this shelter built,) Mike Silvestri (who donated our beautiful venue, absolutely delicious food, and the time of his highly-courteous staff,) and a bevy of committed volunteer committee members are all to be congratulated on a job WELL DONE.
More details on what we raised in the days to come. For now, enjoy the pics... (taken with my cell phone!)
