AFTEE's event this past Tuesday.
I wouldn't think an event held at a furniture store would be a nice setting, but Dodd and Eder in Sag Harbor did! Over 75 people came to AFTEE's event on Tuesday. The grand total of all gifts for the evening was $48,000!
During the evening, representatives from i-Tri, Open Arms Care Center, CAST and East End Hospice provided a look inside their programs and the importance of the AFTEE grants, said Claudia Pilato, AFTEE Executive Board Member and Director of Marketing for BNB.

Another Reason to Attend Benefits
http://www.27east.com/news/article.cfm/General-Interest-Southampton/89401/Hamptons-Party-Scene-Found-Dead-Locals-Want-Answers
Yes, maybe it's shallow, but some of us find celebrity sightings exciting. But if you are looking to do a little stalking, you are not going to find celebrities at Hamptons clubs. According to this article, the Hamptons party scene is changing, maybe even dying. Stars are now sighted at "private events." Guess what? The every man does not go to many benefits (sadly). So if you are looking to roll out the dough, don't spend it at clubs, check out a benefit! You may even see some local celebrities there. (Some Hamptonites, such as, Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, and Billy Joel have been featured in local Hampton papers' post benefit reviews. The evidence is there!).
As for us with less to dish out, I don't mind telling you I like both local bars' benefits and higher end benefits. If either sounds appealing, check out my calendar above.

Blood Drives tomorrow
Cookies? Orange juice? Chili? Soup? Just one of the perks of donating blood, a wonderful gift. If you are lucky enough to be healthy enough to donate, do it! There are two tomorrow. One in Hampton Bays and one in East Hampton. I would see your doctor before considering generously donating to both...

This Saturday at Stephen Talkhouse
What is it they say about if you can make a difference in one person's life during your lifetime?
Join Second Shift in helping Billy Kampf battle pancreatic cancer. Check out the American Cancer Society's webage for information on pancreatic and other types of cancer.
I love Stephen Talkhouse. Where else can you get a drink in a bar named after a Montauket Native American leader? In the summer, enjoy famous bands in an intimate setting. In the winter, locals rule the bar.

San Genarro Feast
The San Gennaro Feast of Hampton Bays ended today. Carnival rides, games, concerts, jewelry vendors, and so much more were available this weekend. My favorite thing about San Gennaro both this year and last, was the local restaurant food choices at the long row of food stands.
As far as charities go, take your pick! There were many great raffles for local organizations that do great deeds throughout the Hamptons. Local memorial scholarships, fire fighters, and animal shelters to name a few.
One organization had "free beer" for those who purchased raffle tickets. The prizes were nice, as was the tent and televisions set up to watch the football game. It was like a mini bar in the style of the local Boardy Barn... without the sloppy over drinkers.
Great job, I am excited to see the next annual feast!
