Volunteer Recognition 2007

On Monday, April 30, the NYC Chapter hosted its 2007 Volunteer Recognition Day at Lincoln Center— a fun-filled, fabulous Broadway cabaret “Meet the Artist” program and cocktail reception. It was a sparkling evening of Broadway music with top-notch performances by Judy McLane, currently starring as Tanya in Mamma Mia! and Eric Kincaid, who, in the role of Skimbleshanks “the railway cat,”was a key player in the longest running Broadway hit Cats.

We feasted on hearty appetizers and drank a little wine—a tasty prelude to a beautiful, heartfelt volunteer recognition ceremony that honored our top volunteers, each representing one of our core programs and services. It was our special way of saying thank you to our 500+ volunteers for their outstanding community service and extraordinary contributions to our NYC community. The event offered volunteers an opportunity to mingle with fellow NYC Chapter volunteers. It was a time to share stories, laugh, cry, sing and honor those who work so hard to make a difference.

With the sun setting over the Hudson River and a beautiful Lincoln Center penthouse view, volunteers enjoyed their time together—an evening of gratitude and kudos.
