Planning your weekend... What's going on!



Well the forecast is looking kind of iffy at this point. I don't know of a time when I've been so consistantly depressed reading a forecast! Tomorrow. Rain, followed by rain, then more rain and then a thunderstorm. YUCK! ENOUGH!

So what to do other than pump the excess water out of your basement or pool? Go have a cocktail and help raise some money for a good cause. You can also go do some nifty artsy stuff like...

Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 5pm: The Sag Harbor Chamber of commerce is holding it's annual Arts and Crafts fair in Marine Park on Bay Street. Admission is free and you can get more information by visiting the chambers website http://www.sagharborchamber.com/ .

On saturday night... tons of benefits but I'll give you my top 3. I've yet to decide which one I'm going to!

Love Heals at Luna Farm, benefitting the Alison Gertz Foundation for Aids research. It's a beach theme featurning cocktails, auction, dancing and a barbeque. I don't know the price of tickets but it's being held at 276 Parsonage Lane, Sagaponack starting at 7:30pm. If you need more details go to the we address www.loveheals.org/luna .

Next is the American Heart Associations 13th annual Heart of the Hamptons Gala. This year's event is being held on the grounds of the Hayground School in Bridgehampton. There will be your standard auction, food and drinks. I will say this event has one of the best silent auctions all summer. Tickets are $500 and you can get more details here: http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3058137

This year's event is emceed by Bill Hemmer formerly of CNN. Rudy Giuliani and wife Judith will be there along with a long list of other east end celebrities.

Now last but not least ... the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons better known as ARF is hosting ther 23rd annual GARDEN TOUR of 6 gardens in East Hampton. The tour is Saturday from 10am to 4pm followed by cocktails from 4-6pm. Get more details at http://www.arfhamptons.org/events.ihtml

If you're not familiar with ARF .. I encourage you to explore the web site. They're a shelter for animals in need and they do an awesome job... my own Boo is a shelter dog but you would think she came from Tiffany's (she has attitude). When you're there... read about Heidi above and see what you can do to help!!

Sorry I was MIA for a few days but it was MY turn to make the doughnuts!
