Nearly 100 people attended this first-ever event at the CV Rich Mansion in White Plains, home to the Woman’s Club for nearly 60 years.

The event featured hot and cold hors d'oeuvres from Caperbury Catering as well as sumptuous desserts. The musicians were set up in the living room of the mansion, but the tunes could be heard throughout the house and gardens. Guests wined and dined themselves to the accompaniment of the outstanding music. 

As spectacular a setting as this historic house is, the gardens were the highlight of the evening. The flowers were a cornucopia of colors and the grounds immaculately tended.

The beautiful weather allowed guests to sit out on the patio and enjoy the wonderful surroundings. 

Proceeds from the event will be used to continue to maintain and improve the gardens promising an even better event next year.
