Before you know it, summer will be upon us. To celebrate, come and join the Manhasset Great Neck EOC for its annual Gala fundraiser on June 2 at Leonard’s of Great Neck. Festivities will begin with an Open Bar from 6-7 PM, followed by a sit-down dinner at seven o’clock.
This year’s celebration is especially important and most exciting due to the fact that the EOC was unable to hold its in-person fundraiser for two years due to COVID.
After living through two difficult years, it is with great joy and relief that the EOC community is thrilled to make this announcement about the forthcoming gala. Come support this terrific organization and join in the fun activities that will include a Silent Auction and Raffles. Tickets are $125 per person.
This year’s EOC honorees are:
Nassau County Comptroller and former New York State Senator Elaine Phillips
Town of North Hempstead Councilwoman Veronica Lurvey
Manhasset Architect TJ Costello
Local Activist Ruth Freeman
Villa Milano Restaurant Owner Don Bekteshi
Paulette Williams, Assistant Principal, Shelter Rock School, who is retiring
Desire Woodson, chair of the EOC Board of Directors, notes that “the Organization is poised to service the youth of the community in many ways. In addition to our Summer Program, we have begun a Saturday mentoring program and are in the process of setting up a program for youth with disabilities as well. We are very excited about our future.”
