Weir River Farm to Table Benefit
Sep 17 2014 ·0I recently attended the 3rd Annual Farm to Table Dinner at the Weir Farm in Hingham. The event, hosted by the Trustees of the Reservation as a fundraiser, has sold out quickly each year since it began. The amazing food and beautiful nature-inspired event design make this dinner an outstanding affair.
The Farm to Table Dinner takes place in the upper pasture at Weir River Farm. The dinner is described as an “open air feast {that} is a true celebration of the farm, land preservation, local chefs, a late summer’s bounty, and the food artisans who cultivate it.”
Ronald McDonald House of Long Island, Part 1
Oct 15 2013 ·0Last week I traveled to New York with fellow Boston-area interior designer and friend, Laurie Gorelick, to preview the newly renovated Ronald McDonald House of Long Island. It was the most spectacular makeover I could have imagined!
As you may know, the Ronald McDonald House is a haven for families, a home-like place to stay while their child is receiving medical treatment at a nearby hospital. There are many Ronald McDonald Houses all over the country including one here in Boston.
This particular Ronald McDonald House on Long Island was started in 1981 under the leadership Lyn Jurick, a powerhouse of a woman, who is still involved to this day. She had the help of many, including her designers William Diamond and Anthony Baratta. The house has served many families over the years and was in need of some tender loving care.
Moonlight & Miracles Gala
Oct 02 2013 ·0The October issue of South Shore Living Magazine highlights a group of artists of which I am proud to be a part of. Under the leadership of Jen Kelly, for many years we have donated paintings to the fundraising auction that is part of South Shore Hospital’s Moonlight and Miracles Gala. The funds raised benefit cancer care programs at the hospital, a wonderful and worthy cause.
