Party Pics – Dressed to Kilt

Returning from a two-year hiatus, Dressed to Kilt came back with a bang to kick off New York Fashion Week 2017, January 27, 2017. Considered the largest and most prestigious Scottish Fashion Event in the world, Dressed to Kilt once again lured celebrities and world-class athletes from both sides of the Atlantic including Real Housewives of New York cast members Luann D’Agostino, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Carole Radziwill and Ramona Singer. Other celeb guests included Miss Scotland, Lucy Kerr; Mr. Scotland, Tristan Cameron-Harper; Model and America’s Next Top Model Alum, Renee Bhagwandeen; NFL Superbowl Champion, Brandon Marshall of the Denver Broncos; former Navy Seal and star of CBS’ The Hunted, Andy Stumpf; Former Bachelor Contestant Olivia Caridi; Real Housewives of New Jersey Star, Delores Catania.

After the show guests were treated to whiskey tastings from Usquaebach Scotch Whisky, delectable bites and more Scottish and contemporary dancing in the High Line Hotel’s gorgeous old-world setting complete with stags and a Scottish bagpiper.

The evening was a celebration of the “Special Relationship” that has existed between the USA and the UK for over 100 years and raised funds for the Navy Seal Foundation. Cisco Co-founder Sandy Lerner sought to shed light on an additional cause by auctioning off an antique Scottish Wildcat Pin to raise money for the Scottish Wildcat Foundation aimed at helping to save the feline creatures, of which only 35 are left. Dressed to Kilt has raised significant funds for wounded Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade, and this year’s proceeds will benefit the Navy SEAL Foundation. The Foundation is committed to America’s elite warriors, supporting U.S. Navy SEALS, their community and providing critical support to their families.

Fire Dept. Coffee

Work Hard, Sip Often with Fire Dept. Coffee
Strong coffee pairs with strong values in this veteran owned business.

Fire Dept. Coffee is a newly launched coffee brand on a mission to serve their country and community with the easiest drinking coffee you’ll ever have.

The company was launched by Luke Schneider, a Navy veteran turned firefighter paramedic, and Mark Williams, a combat vet turned firefighter, with a mission to serve, unite, and give back.

“Fire Dept. Coffee believes in the bonds created between people when sharing the mutual responsibility of selfless service to Nation and Community,” explains Williams. “The bonds created by service members and firefighters is unique, strong and loyal. Our brand looks to foster similar relationships with customers, business partners and employees. FDC will always put our team before lesser objectives like profits and numbers.”

Each batch is roasted to order, ensuring every cup is as fresh and flavorful as possible for when it’s needed most.
They offer three distinct roasts:
· Original — This medium roast is the perfect way to start the day.
· Dark Roast — Made with organic beans from fair-trade farms, its deep flavor hits the spot.
· Bourbon Infused – The perfect vehicle for one’s favorite bourbon, whiskey, or cream based liquor after a long hard day on the job.

In order to do even more good in their communities, Fire Dept. Coffee donates portions of their sales to military and fire service related charities.

“In the 25 years of combined military and public service, the team at Fire Dept. Coffee has always fostered the idea of charity. Whether big or small, it is the right thing to do.” Said Schneider. Fire Dept. Coffee continually runs campaigns and events to raise money, awareness and improve relationships with charity organizations that promote veteran outreach, the fire service and the people they serve.

All military and first responders receive 15% off every order. Additionally, Fire Dept. Coffee also offers a 10% discount to those who subscribe to their program, as well as free shipping on all orders over $50.

1 in 3 Americans are currently living with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Each recipe includes the American Diabetes Association’s approved meal exchanges and detailed nutrition information, while Nancy adds an arsenal of simple hacks to transform the neophyte cook into an amateur chef. Recipes include:

  • Double-Duty Banana Pancakes
  • Pork and Avocado Salad
  • Panko and Ranch Chicken Strips with Dipping Sauce
