The goal of the evening was to simply bring good people together with good food, great music, and the beautiful scenery of New York at night as we cruised the waterways around southern Manhattan. Guests were promised that there would be no speeches, no plaques or awards or presentations, and other than drawing the winning raffle tickets, there would be no interruptions in the evening. We didn't even have a formal invocation - people were invited to pray their own blessings.
There was an outside deck both for viewing the beauty of New York at night but also for smoking and a number of cigar smokers especially spent much of the evening up there. Here are some pictures from the evening for your enjoyment - you can add them to you own private collection by simply clicking and copying, but if you use them for anything else, please credit Vito Catalano as the photographer, who can be reached at Email: vitofoto@aol.com.
