Summer Solstice Party
06/20/2011 - By New York, NY

Summer Solstice Party

On Monday, June 20th, NES held its annual Summer Solstice Party in the beautiful courtyard of the Otto Kahn Mansion.

Completed in 1918, the Italian Renaissance style building is one of the largest private residences ever built in Manhattan. The mansion now houses part of the Sacred Heart School.

Members and friends enjoyed the elegant ambiance and lovely views of Central Park as well as summer cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and music by classical guitarist Michael Klein. The event celebrates the longest day of the year and raises funds for the NES Scholarship Program.

NES President, Caroline A. Camougis, welcomed all attendees and then read a letter of thanks from an NES Scholar who graduated from Amherst in 1976. Dr. Lee Klombers, a leading ophthalmologist based in Pennsylvania, thanked the Society for its financial support without which he could not have attended Amherst. He went on to describe Amherst as “one of the most important keys to my success in life and the best academic experience I ever had.”

NES is a nonprofit charitable organization founded in 1805 to promote "friendship, charity and mutual assistance" among and on behalf of New Englanders living in New York. For more information, contact Executive Director Valerie Lord at 20 West 44th Street, Suite 409, New York, NY 10036, Tel: (212) 752-1938, Email: valerie@nesnyc.org.
