Wildnight for Wildlife 2009!
The Board of Directors and Staff of the Quogue Wildlife Refuge extend our sincerest thanks to all who made the 3rd Annual Wild Night for Wildlife Benefit such a great success! The evening consisted of great food and music, fantastic raffles & auction prizes, and to top it off, the weather was lovely again! We are three for three for wonderful weather… Mother Nature definitely supports our cause!
This event was made possible by to the involvement and hard work of many generous souls…
A special thank you to our committee Co-chairs and Board Members, Deborah Shishido and Mary J. Post, for their tireless work coordinating every last detail and making this event so special! Thank you to the Benefit Committee and Volunteers for your hard work in creating this magical night. Great job everyone!
Michele Kirschbaum generously hosted our event at her beautiful, waterfront estate in East Quogue. We could not have asked for a more natural and perfect setting! Thank you so much!
