Heritage Committee 2018 Cocktail Party

Heritage Committee 2018 Cocktail Party at the New Harvard Club The North Shore Land Alliance held its annual Heritage Committee cocktail party at the new Harvard Club Rooftop in New York City on Wednesday, June 20, 2018. The Heritage Committee is a community of bright and energetic young professionals, 35 and under, who not only love nature, but understand the importance of land conservation and the impact their actions will have on future generations. “It’s so important to us at the North Shore Land Alliance to involve the younger community in the work we do,” said Lisa Ott, Land Alliance President & CEO. “They are the future and we cannot shape the future of land conservation on the North Shore without their help and support.” Guests were served a delicious variety of passed hors d’oeuvres like juicy pork dumplings, spring rolls and crab cakes while enjoying the breathtaking views of Manhattan on this beautiful summer evening. The tapas table boasted an eclectic variety of dishes like an eggplant stew and our favorite: champagne flutes filled with gazpacho. Silent auction items included Billy Joel concert tickets, paintings by Michelle Stack and Mercedes Dorson, and a visit to the exotic Montauk Salt Cave West – a holistic spa in Huntington. Cathryn Bales, Carter Bales’s daughter, gave a wonderful toast thanking guests for attending the event and supporting the important work we do at the Land Alliance. She also coaxed guests in a humorous and heartfelt way to overbid on their silent auction items, which got a nice chuckle from the crowd. Thank you for all your support, Cathryn.
