Apple Ridge Country
Club was the prefect setting for a great Derby Day on Saturday, May 4, as the
Volunteer Center of Bergen County celebrated it's 21st annual Derby
Day Party. More than 200 guests sipped mint juleps, grooved
to the amazing southern rock and blues tunes of the Stuff Brothers, took a
chance at the Winner's Circle and Wine Pull, sampled fine wines and cigars and
bid on fabulous items in the silent and live auction.
MC Leo
McGuire and auctioneer Andy Russ led the festivities and encouraged enthusiastic
bidding, and everyone cheered as "Orb" flew through the mud to win the Run for
the Roses. It was a great way to spend the afternoon and also raise
funds for the Volunteer
Center's programs
and services in the community.
Judge for the “Most
Elegant Hat” contest was (201) Magazine Social Editor Deirdre Ward and judge for
the “Most Outrageous Tie” contest was Deidre's husband Joseph Ward. Together
they stalked the crowd for the winners and finally named Mary DeStefano the
"Most Elegant Hat" winner and for the second year in a row, Keith Jensen the
"Most Outrageous Tie" winner.
Thanks to all who
attended and to our generous corporate sponsors: TD Bank, (201) Magazine,
Compensation Solutions, Inserra Shoprite, Oritani Bank, PSE&G, Synetek
Solutions, United Water, Reader’s Digest, and Atlantic, Tomorrow's
Office.
See ya’ll next year
on Saturday, May 3, 2014!
