Yes there are nights when fundraisers do not take you to the shores of Amarante’s and Anthony’s, so what to do? Sage, overlooking the New Haven harbor, offered another water view. With Cookie Roberts doing jazz vocals, backed up by a trio that included local legend Artie Dixon at the drums, the night looked promising. With due respect to the venue, you might say the world was our oyster!
Well, it turns out that everywhere you go at this time of year, people are using all of the oases to raise money and awareness. UI, the company you love to abuse and accuse, was hosting a party on the very Sound under which the company has its famous cables to encourage leadership giving to the United Way.
The effervescent Shelly Saczynski, director of Economic Development and fearless leader of the Fund for Women and Girls, has assumed yet another leadership role for the greater good!
The party carried on long after the presentation and official time ended. Dave McCourt worked the room, supervising staff, amiably chatting it up with all of his regulars and those who came for the music. Curtis Hill wined and dined his party. Financial planner Jimmy Sachs and his
stunning fianc√©e supped with Dr. Frank Lobo. And the beat went on…
Across town, on the shores of the Quinnipiac, we understand that
Andy Rubenoff presented a cabaret to a sold out audience at Stillwater Tavern. Sunday night, he will headline at CHOW; reservations are a safe bet with doors opening at 6:30P.M. for an 8 o’clock show.
This is a tough news beat, but someone has to do it!
