Spring Fling Featuring Celebrity Pet Photographer Jim Dratfield!
Hello Everyone:
It's been a snowy Winter and I'm sure we're all looking forward to Spring so here's a chance to celebrate! Several of our recent events have featured our DVD gallery show, where the work of a talented artist is displayed on several screens. As many of you recall, back in July, we did so with the help of celebrity pet photographer, Jim Dratfield:
It was a huge success so on Friday, March 26th, we'll be doing so again!
The Location: Taj, 48 West 21st Street Between 5th and 6th Avenues.
The Time: 6-10PM
Admission:FREE!
Jim Dratfield's Petography® specializes in fine art photography of pets and people with their pets. Jim has done photo commissions for the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron, Bebe Neuwirth, Henry Kissinger, Billy Joel and Elton John to name a few. Jim is the author of nine books and his tenth book Pugnation: The Bark is Back!, comes out in October. His work has been featured on ABC's 20/20, The View, Oprah's O. Magazine, Instyle and Town & Country.
In addition, we will use this opportunity to raise money for a worthy cause, Animal Care & Control of New York City.
Animal Care & Control rescues over 43,000 animals each year, making the organization the largest pet rescue and adoption agency in the North East. Since 1995, the not-for-profit organization has been responsible for New York City's municipal shelter system, caring for rescued animals and finding loving homes for homeless, injured, neglected, abused and abandoned animals in all five boroughs of New York City.
As you know, admission will be free. However, on hand to help with our fund raising efforts will be the elegant and glamorous ladies of TOW (Tall Outstanding Women) who will be present all night long selling raffle tickets. Minimum height requirement for group members: 6 feet!
Prizes include:
*A 3 day/2 night all-inclusive stay at Cove Haven Entertainment Resorts Value: $1,031!
*A gift certificate to Henri Bendel, New York's legendary Fifth Avenue boutique Value:$300!
*Two tickets to LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I WORE, on Broadway courtesy of Bernadette Peters, renowned Broadway star and animal advocate. Value:$250!
*A book autographed by Jim Dratfield, (Not sure what it's worth but it's a great book!)
*Time spent with other group members...PRICELESS!
In addition, Free chair massages will be offered by Brian Boyce, LMT, one of New York's most talented massage therapists.
