I didn't know what to expect from the Gala. It was in a new place, new food and a bunch of new people.

 

It was a great experience.

 

It's unfortunate we could not have the entire Gotham family in attendance but nonetheless there were many exciting happy faces, conversations and cards exchanged. I imagined a lot of business took place.

 

The Harmonie Club is fabulous. Beautiful place, comfortable and I heard the dumplings were the big hit.

 

It was Gotham's 20th year and Fred's birthday.

 

Coindence? Maybe, maybe not but the red velvet cake was delicious.

 

Fred was honored again

 

The entire Klein clan was there to celebrate.

 

A long overdue honor was bestowed on our Executive Director Debbie Lindner who works so hard and put so much energy into Gotham. I know...I work with her.

 

I felt terrible that Nancy wasn't present since her Dad took ill that day and it certainly wasn't the same without her. My heart goes out to her and her family.

 

It was great seeing everyone. Loved it!

 

The journal came out great! Kudos to Joanne, Debbie and Corey

 

Norm is at his best when he's running events

 

Amparo won the 50/50

 

The lovely music was provided by Gerry's son Marcus

 

Surprise of the eveing is that I brought my wife! She had a great time :)

 

I learned (the hard way) that the parking garage next to the club is the most expensive in the City

 

Josh Zinder's tie wasn't really a tie. It was some kind of metal neck thing made by his daughter. It looked really cool.

 

Cayce did an outstanding job putting images and video together that displayed at the Gala...click here to see it

 

Happy Birthday Fred ;)

Great blog and let me add that Amparo donated her 50/50 winnings to The Gotham Foundation to kick off this year's Season of Giving. Thank you Amparo, thank you Mitch and thank you Tribe! Because of you we keep on giving and it keeps on going around!
Norman Spizz

Thanks Mitch. You were also part of the team that made this possible

This was Sharon's first visit to a Gotham event and she loved it!

Josh's metal bowtie was super cool.

Vincent Russo's yellow submarine tie matched his journal ad!

The Harmonie club felt more open and breathable than the Friars.

Iwe enjoyed seeing friends and actually met someone we did not know.
Debbie is the best and Fred owes us drinks!

Thanks for you thoughtful summary. Gotham would be lost without you.
