The Board of Directors, Gala Chair Janet Mavec, the co-hosts and benefit committee invite you to Wave Hill's Spring Garden Gala on Thursday, May 29, 2008 to honor Kate French.

A spring tradition, this festive party brings together 300 Wave Hill enthusiasts for a delightful evening beginning with cocktails at sunset in our glorious gardens at peak spring bloom. Enjoy dinner and dancing on our tented lower lawn, overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades. This year we celebrate Kate French. Kate's inspiring leadership as Executive Director since 1990 is reflected in everything we do–the exuberance of our gardens, exhibitions and programs, the welcoming way we greet visitors and, most importantly, the strength of our institution and its sterling reputation. Wave Hill has sustained incredible growth over the past 17 years, and we feel tremendous pride in Kate's legacy.

Join us for this fabulous event as we toast Kate French and give heartfelt thanks for her 17 years of stellar leadership.

Tables range from $10,000 to $100,000.

Tickets begin at $1000.
