HCHS Auction Update
Yes, we've got the theme, date, time and place (Casino Royale, Saturday, May 15th on the west side of Manhattan), now it's time to get to the REALLY important things for the auction. We know what you're thinking: raising money for our kids' education is the important thing. Of course we agree, yet there is another important part of the auction we'd like to focus on this week--ALCOHOL. We've been given a suggestion for the signature cocktail, taken straight from James Bond in CASINO ROYALE. It's called The Vesper and to make it happen, we'd love to hear from anyone who can donate liquor or get it at cost. And here's a thought, if you're not sure what to donate on a personal level, why not a case of wine? If you can help, please contact Judy Weinstein (directjudy@aol.com), Jocelyn Markowitz (rmarkowitz@nyc.rr.com), or Lisa Taber (lisatracytaber@rcn.com) Cheers!
