FUN for you -- FUNdraising for VLSP

If you attended Art of Lawyering in 2015, you already have an idea of how much fun it is to browse a one-of-a-kind silent auction while being entertained with music, food, beer tasting, and to wander around a unique repurposed building: our very own Village Gate.

A sneak peek at the entertainment for Oct. 19

·         Special Counsel (jazz ensemble with attorney-musicians you know)

·         Jay Ruest demonstrating dance lessons which will be up for bid

·         Josh & Natalie Pincus – musical duo with pop song vocals

Several local artists from the Neighborhood of the Arts have contributed their artwork to this year's auction along with some of the perennial attorney-artists who have wowed us with previous work.  Join the list of contributing artists, including:   Henry Avignon, Alan Singer, Richard Harvey, Jeanne Bowman, Hon. Jerry Alonzo, Jean McCreary, Richard Margolis, Ross Lanzafame, Nicole Black, Jill Paperno. 

So what are you waiting for?  

Mark your calendar for the October 19 event; contribute a piece of art before the end of August; see link above to purchase tickets in advance and/or to register a donation; invite your friends and family for a fun evening out. 

In addition to pottery, jewelry, textiles, woodwork, paintings, and more, you will have the opportunity to bid on various experiences, such as a memoir-writing class, art lessons at Anderson Alley, a luxury box for two at a 2018 Yankees game of your choice….  DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION YET!
