Party Pics: Labor of Love

Housing Works' Labor of Love

 

September 5 from 5:30 to 8 pm
Labor of Love Fundraiser

On Saturday, September 5, 2015, Housing Works and presenting sponsor The Points Guy hosted Labor of Love, a fundraiser to support Housing Works’ efforts to end the AIDS epidemic in New York State by 2020.

The season-ending benefit, held on Labor Day weekend, is one of the organization’s signature events. This year, Labor of Love was held in the home, designed by Halcyon Design, LLC, and gardens of a private East Hampton estate. The exclusive party featured cocktails by Double Cross Vodka, tasty hors d’oeuvres by Chef Ian McHugh, and a special performance by Mia Moretti and Margot of The Dolls.

Bastille Day 2015 – Lafayette returns to America

lafayette

JOIN US FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL EVENING! Bastille Day 2015 will celebrate “Lafayette returns to America” and the spirit of freedom the United States and France have shared, and owed to one another, for the last two centuries.

 GET YOUR TICKETS

On Friday, July 10, the Embassy of France will welcome Washingtonians to the Comité Tricolore’s spectacular annual Bastille Day celebration!

 

In 1780, the French frigate the Hermione carried the Marquis de Lafayette to America, where he played a pivotal role in America’s bid for independence. This summer, an authentic recreation of the Hermione will sail to the U.S. — and to celebrate the spirit of freedom, a very special Bastille Day event at the French Embassy will transport you and your guests to a supremely elegant and romantic 18th century grand soirée!

Period entertainment — both music and dancing — will enchant you… you’ll meet costumed contemporaries of Lafayette as you sample exquisite fare from some of Washington’s finest restaurants, hotels and pastry shops… and the evening ends with a fast-forward to the present as a DJ invites you to dance the night away!
