Apple Ridge Country
Club was THE place to be on Saturday, May 5, as the Volunteer Center of Bergen
County celebrated it's 20th annual Derby Day Party. More than 200
guests sipped mint juleps, grooved to southern rock and blues by the Stuff
Brothers, took a chance at the Winner's Circle and Wine Pull, sampled fine wines
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 "I’ll Have Another" came from behind 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 past winner Vicki Carr and judge for the “Most
Outrageous Tie” contest was past winner Anthony Barbara. Winner of "Most Elegant
Hat" was Derby Day committee member Evelyn Babich and "Most Outrageous Tie" was
Keith Jensen.
Thanks to all who
attended and to our generous corporate sponsors: TD Bank, Compensation
Solutions, Synetek Solutions, Englewood Hospital, Inserra Shoprite, Oritani
Bank, Reader’s Digest, United Water, 201/Bergen.com, BC the Magazine, Bergen
