Peconic Bay's Garden Party Raises Over $3,000

Peconic Bay Zonta's Summer Garden Party was a great success, raising over $3,000 for the local organization, which aims to improve the lives of women and their children.

Peconic Bay member Annika Shapiro (at the microphone) and her husband, Steve Shapiro, hosted the event at their home in Wading River, where an 

entourage of member-chefs made delicious appetizers that were paired with wines from Wines by Nature. Music by guitarist Scott O’Hare set the tone for a delightful evening.

Peconic Bay Zonta thanks friends and guests for their generosity. We also acknowledge these local businesses for their contributions:

– Andrews Family Farm
– Angel Tip Nail Spa
– Bakewicz Farms
– Blue Water FishBoots on the Ground
– Cheese & Spice Market
– DDG Designs
– Desmond’s
– Forte’s Wading River Florist
– La Plage

All helped to make the evening festive and a financial success.

Proceeds from this and all our fund raisers enable Peconic Bay Zonta to support women and children in need. Several current projects include scholarships for women attending English as a Second Language classes at Suffolk County Community College in Riverhead; help to Blessings in a Backpack, which provides over 500 weekend meals for local school children; and the Butterfly Effect Project, which supports and empowers young people to achieve and broaden their horizons.

Peconic Bay Zonta is affiliated with Zonta International, a nonprofit organization that seeks to build a better world for woman and girls both locally and globally.
