| Last Saturday, a week, over in Brooklyn the Prospect Park Alliance held its Prospect Park Ball in a tent at the Prospect Park Carousel. They honored Robert Catell, Executive Director and Deputy Chairman of National Grid, Veronica Peterson, Principal, Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment, and Donald Elliott who was the recipient of the Wilbur A. Levin Award. During the dinner, the highlight was the “Green Auction” in which they raised $45,000 from guests to hire a “Zone Gardener” to maintain Brooklyn’s iconic Grand Army Plaza. The black tie event was attended by more than 600 and raised $625,000 for the cause. The Prospect Park Alliance, in partnership with the city and the community, restores, develops and operates Prospect Park with its 585 acres of meadows, waterfalls, forest, lakes and athletic facilities, making a masterwork of urban green space. |
