On August 31, an intimate summer soiree was held at the private East Hampton estate of Dina Merril and Ted Hartley. The evening included dinner, fireworks, and live musical performances by Tony Award Nominee Christine Andreas and cabaret singer Cole Rumbough.  The night raised over $40,000 of donations for the NYC Mission Society, the longest running charity in Manhattan!

 

 

The evening also marked the 30th anniversary of board service by Mr. Stanley H. Rumbough, here with Maria Orengo and Courtney Bennett
