Happy Father’s Day
My Memorial Day Weekend
I had a low-key weekend.
On Saturday, I had brunch at the Lighthouse Rooftop in Sunnyside. They make a wicked mimosa and have great drinks and food options. It was a great afternoon with my family.
On Sunday, I enjoyed family swim time at the Long Island City YMCA. My daughter Maxine is learning how to swim and it is amazing sharing the experience with her.
Monday, was all all about Mah Jong. I had a great time with Mary’s Mahj (my Mah Jong girlies) and won four times!

My Mother’s Day
It was a good day. Filled with family, love, and flower pots!
Baby Farm Animals
Spring+Mother’s Day is reminding me about the time my daughter and I got to play with bunnies and chickens from Long Island Pony Parties.
Best time ever!

Nonprofit Education Training Events
I have always wanted to join a nonprofit board. Earlier this month, I attended a training session at the New York Junior League (NYJL) on Elevating Ethics—Building Nonprofit Board Leaders. It was a great day of training with great topics and speakers.
A week later, I attended a Board Match Mixer at the NYJL and got a chance to meet some great leaders and nonprofits. I didn’t find my ‘match,’ but it was great seeing and hearing from nonprofits I’d never heard of before.
I just have to keep on looking!
Lunch with Marc Happel
At the beginning of January, I had the pleasure of attending a luncheon featuring Marc Happel, the Costume Director for the New York City Ballet at the New York Junior League.
Marc discussed his process of creating costumes for new ballets and his visually stunning book NEW YORK CITY BALLET: CHOREOGRAPHY & COUTURE.
I had an amazing time, enjoying lunch by Liz King of Kings Carriage House, and meeting new friends at the League.
Here are pictures from the event.
