Paula Zahn to Emcee 13th Annual
Valentine Salon, Sole Fundraising Event Benefiting East End
Hospice’s Camp Good Grief:
Paula Zahn, Host of Discovery ID’s On The Case With
Paula Zahn, and Co-Host WNET/Channel 13’s Sunday Arts, will
emcee the
13th Annual Valentine Salon, to be held on Wednesday,
February 8, 2012, at
583 Park Avenue, from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM. Alexandra Urdang,
longtime Valentine Salon committee member and chair of the
benefit in 2003, chairs this year’s event.
The Valentine Salon, a luncheon attended by over 200 women
each year, raises funds for
Camp Good Grief, a one-week summer bereavement camp run
under the auspices of
East End Hospice. Since 1997,
Camp Good Grief has been offered free of charge to any child
aged 4 to 15 who has suffered the loss of a loved one. The
weeklong program employs a variety of activities--including art,
music, structured play, and group therapy--designed to give the
campers the necessary tools to effectively cope with their
grief. The experience of being around other children who have
also lost a loved one tells them that they are not alone, that
they are not different. The camp will take place August 20
through August 24, 2012, at
Peconic Dunes, a 4-H camp located in Southold, New York. The
luncheon itself is by invitation only and attracts a group of
compassionate, educated, and philanthropic women from the
tri-state area, many of whom have second residences in the
Hamptons. It is the only fundraising event for the camp, and
also includes shopping featuring specialty vendors--of apparel,
accessories, home goods, and more--all of whom contribute 20% of
the their sales back to
Camp Good Grief. Each year, the Valentine Salon Committee
honors a deserving person from the community who has made an
important contribution to children in need. The recipient of
this year’s Good Heart Award is
Rachel Lloyd, Founder and Executive Director of
GEMS, Girls Educational & Mentoring Services. Jacalyn
Weinstein,
East End Hospice board member and event co-founder, will
present the award, which is created by
Manfredi Jewelers in honor of Susan Kohl Katz. East End
Hospice, now celebrating its 20th anniversary, is a New York
State certified hospice that provides end-of-life care to
terminally ill patients and their families who live on the East
End of Long Island. No one is ever denied care due to the
inability to pay for services. Venue:
583 Park Avenue Time: 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM
Ticket prices
start at $200, and are available through the East End Hospice
Development Office at 631-288-7080, or at
www.eeh.org. Table and Sponsorship opportunities are also
available. |

Mount Sinai School of Medicine’s Multicultural and Community
Affairs Signature Event:
Mount Sinai School of Medicine has a distinguished 30 year
history of conducting education pipeline programs which have
engaged over 10,000 youth from educationally and economically
disadvantaged backgrounds to advance towards careers in health
and science. Since its inception in 1998, the
CMCA has become an integral part of Mount Sinai, helping to
strengthen ties with its communities and making the diversity of
the medical student body at
Mount Sinai School of Medicine rank among the best in the
nation and expanding the pipeline to improve the diversity of
its faculty and trainees. Despite its’ many achievements,
however,
CMCA remains largely unknown in the Harlem community. It is
the intent of
The Signature Event to increase awareness of
CMCA’s important work, raise its profile in the community
and to begin to expand its networks of support. This year
on Thursday, October 20, 2011, the
Center for Multicultural and Community Affairs (CMCA)
will hold its Second Annual Signature Event fundraiser at
The New York Academy of Medicine. While we have helped many
inner city children make the leap and become medical doctors and
other healthcare professionals, we can do more through your
participation. This is particularly critical with federal
budget cuts presently looming. Students need physician
role models whom they can identify with and relate to their
backgrounds.
CMCA ensures the institutional commitment to diversity and
helps inner city students understand that yes, -- it is possible
to become a doctor. To ensure the longevity of
CMCA’s mentoring and career development programs, we must
secure alternative sources of private and corporate funding.
Visibility within the community is essential and it is hoped
that our 2011 Signature Event will assist in opening new doors.
Venue:
New York Academy of Medicine - Fifth Ave @ 103rd.

ABOUT THE PARRISH ART MUSEUM: Founded in 1897 and located in
Southampton, NY, the
Parrish Art Museum celebrates the artistic legacy of Long
Island’s East End and its reverberation throughout the world.
Since the mid 1950s the Museum has grown from a small village
art gallery into an important art museum with a collection of
more than 2,600 works of art from the nineteenth century to the
present. It includes such contemporary painters and sculptors as
John Chamberlain, Chuck Close, Eric Fischl, April Gornik,
Elizabeth Peyton, as well as such masters as Dan Flavin, Roy
Lichtenstein, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Willem de
Kooning. The Parrish houses among of the world’s most important
collections of works by the preeminent American Impressionist
William Merritt Chase and by the groundbreaking post-war
American realist painter Fairfield Porter. A vital cultural
resource serving a diverse audience, the Parrish organizes and
presents changing exhibitions and offers a dynamic schedule of
creative and engaging public programs including lectures, films,
performances, concerts, and studio classes for all ages. In
mid-2012, the Parrish will move to a new building in Water Mill
designed by internationally acclaimed architects Herzog & de
Meuron. The 34,500-square-foot facility will triple the Museum’s
current exhibition space and allow for the simultaneous
presentation of loan exhibitions and installations drawn from
the permanent collection. MEDIA CONTACT: Concetta

Debating New York's Skyline: Evolving or Embalmed?:
The Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) and the
New York Landmarks Conservancy will bring together leading
experts in architecture and the history of New York City for a
timely discussion on the changes and challenges brought by new
skyscrapers on New York City’s iconic skyline. New York
City’s skyline is beautiful, distinctive and recognized around
the world. Recently, plans for two buildings (15
Penn Plaza and
Tower Verre) have raised questions on how new tall buildings
affect the skyline and whether the skyline should be preserved.
MAS and
The New York Landmarks Conservancy are co-hosting a very
special evening to address the issue. Given New York’s
ever-evolving skyline, can and should certain views be
preserved? Join moderator
Paul Goldberger, architecture critic for
The New Yorker, for a conversation with
Kenneth T. Jackson, the Jacques Barzun Professor in History
and the Social Sciences, Columbia University;
Phyllis Lambert, founding director and chair of the Board of
Trustees, Canadian Centre for Architecture; and
Dinu Bumbaru, policy director of
Héritage Montréal, and former secretary general of
ICOMOS, as we explore the challenges of encouraging new
development while protecting what’s iconic. We will also
consider also how new buildings could be designed to enhance the
world’s most famous skyline. Venue: The
Graduate Center, CUNY,
Proshanksy Auditorium, 365 Fifth Avenue (between 34th and
35th streets), Manhattan Time: 6:30 – 8:00
p.m.
Cost: $15 for MAS and
NY Landmarks Conservancy members and students. General
admission is $20.To register, go to

Fuel For Truth Second Annual Casino Night:
ManhattanSociety.com editor and photographer and the 73rd
Member of FFT inducted into the order of this New York based
501c3 charitable organization,
Christopher London
will be celebrating his birthday on this night by volunteering
as the house photographer to document
FFT’s Annual Gala. In lieu of any birthday gifts, Chris
London asks that friends of Mr. London, Israel, the United
States and those who stand against terrorism purchase a ticket and
join us at this event or
make a donation to
Fuel For Truth, to insure the safety and security of future
generations. In the words of
Christopher London, “In 2004 I happened to read
a profile on the blog of
PaulKatcher.com, about a young New Yorker and Pro-Israel
activist
Joseph S. Richards who along with their President
Jonathan Loew, recognized the level of misinformation in
society about the nature of the threat not just to Israel but
humanity as a whole. FFT’s co-founders included lawyers, sports
agents, film producers, nightclub promoters and bankers. In the wake
of 9/11 after the loss of some of their friends and in a climate of
rising global terrorism, Anti-Semitism and a misunderstanding and
disinformation campaign waged by opponents of freedom, they
understood the profound need to educate as many young citizens about
the true nature of the conflict. I began to attend and cover their
events, eventually became more involved and was ultimately inducted
into
Fuel For Truth as its 73rd Member. To
this day, it is one of the affiliations that I am most proud of.
Fighting for the truth is not always popular, well received or
understood but I do believe that the fate of America and Israel are
intertwined. Fuel For Truth is not a spectator sport but neither is
being an American Citizen. We are living in curious times and these
times demand our engagement to preserve our way of life. I refuse to
stand on the sidelines and hope you will join me in supporting FFT.”
Fuel
For Truth equips young Americans with the basic skills and facts
necessary to advocate on behalf of Israel and the United States.
Americans, Israelis, and citizens of all democratic nations must
work together to combat the threats to our beloved societies, in
whatever form they take. Information is more accessible today than
at any other point in history, though so are its sources. Enemies of
open societies, such as Israel and the United States, are pouring
millions of dollars into PR campaigns to foster hatred here on our
native soil. It is imperative that misinformation is countered with
accurate depictions of events, past and present, to protect
generations of the future. Time: 8:00 PM -Thursday, November
04, 2010 at 12:00 AM (ET) Venue:
Room Service Lounge, 35 East 21st Street, New York City, NY
