Midway through the event Jonathan McCann thanked attendees for coming saying, “Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation relies solely upon donations from the public. The wellbeing of our homeless animals is the result of your generosity and support.” He stressed, “the need to find homes for the ‘long term’ dogs who are just as capable of offering unconditional love as the puppies that you are meeting today.”
Additional guests included: Cornelia Bregman, Wendy Diamond, Victor de Souza, Barbara McEntee, Kate McEntee, Brigid Fitzgerald, Dawne Marie Grannum, Dr. and Mrs. Steven Greenberg, Sara Johnson Kaplan,Unconditional Love Gala Co-Chair Michael Katz, Raya and Cliff Knight, Aniik Libby, Dolly Lenz, Dr. Teresa Meekins, Susan Allen, William Nicolai, Rodney O’Connor and Valerie Rooks, SASF Executive Director Jerry Rosenthal and his wife Cionna Rosenthal, Diane Rulnik, Elizabeth Shafiroff, Martin Shafiroff, Dr. Steven Schutzer, and Wendy Wegner.

100% of proceeds directly help the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation. The mission of the SASF is to provide for the welfare of homeless animals and find them loving homes. As the only open admissions animal welfare organization in Southampton, they are dedicated to promoting and nurturing the bond between people and animals through adoption, medical care, behavior training and education. Proceeds from this evening’s event support critical programs and services that make them the leader in animal welfare and responsible pet ownership in the community.
The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation will hold its Eight Annual Unconditional Love Gala on Saturday, July 8 where Jean Shafiroff and Sony Schotland will be honored. Cocktails are at 6:30pm and dinner at 7:30pm. Tickets begin at $1,000 and can be purchased by phone (631) 728-PETS (7387 ext. 240) or line:www.southamptonanimalshelter.com
The SASF is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that relies on the generosity of our donors and volunteers to care to for the homeless animals in our community, and place them in loving “forever homes.” The number of animals in need of their help is growing every day. The overpopulation of pets on Long Island is a major issue and sadly more amazing animals are ending up homeless. Whether caring for strays found wandering the streets, rescuing neglected and abandoned animals, or saving dogs from the horrors of the puppy mill industry, the shelter is a safe haven for all animals and for some, a last resort. Without SASF, these animals would not be able to survive. The shelter provides a stepping stone for animals to find a loving home. It offers them housing, food, medical treatment, training, and rehabilitation when necessary.

Hope for Depression Research Foundation (HDRF) held a reception with guest of honor Daphne Merkin, literary critic, essayist and novelist, on May 15, 2017 at The Metropolitan Club, where Merkin spoke about her new memoir, “This Close to Happy: A Reckoning with Depression.“

The event was hosted by HDRF Founder & Chair Audrey Gruss to honor top donors of the Foundation, now entering its eleventh year of breakthrough brain research. She said that depression as a whole is under-funded, despite its prevalence and staggering cost to society, and that HDRF’s work is critical. She then welcomed founding member of HDRF’s Depression Task Force, Dr. Eric Nestler, Chief of Neuroscience at Mount Sinai, who gave a brief update on research progress. The brain has a billion nerve cells and one trillion connections, he said, so it is very complex to study, but the Depression Task Force has identified several genes and circuits that may underlie depression and lead to much-needed new treatments.

HDRF Executive Director Louisa Benton then introduced Daphne Merkin, whose spoke about her experience with clinical depression and read excerpts from This Close to Happy. Merkin said she began writing the book 16 years ago as a New Yorker article, and when it was published, “it felt like I was walking naked down the magazine’s corridors, as previously depression was something that stayed in the shadows.”
This Close to Happy is a vivid account of what it feels like to suffer from clinical depression over the arc of a lifetime. Merkin is a critic and writer for the New Yorker and the New York Times Magazine. Her memoir offers a candid glimpse into an illness that many experience, but few talk about. Renowned psychologist Carol Gilligan calls it a vital addition to the literature of mental illness. The book is endorsed by Jill Soloway, Gloria Vanderbilt and more.
ABOUT HOPE FOR DEPRESSION RESEARCH FOUNDATION
The mission of the Hope for Depression Research Foundation (HDRF) is to fund the most innovative neuroscience research into the origins, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of depression and other mood disorders – bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress syndrome, anxiety disorder and suicide. It was founded in 2006 by Audrey Gruss in memory of her mother Hope, who struggled with depression for decades.
In 2010, HDRF launched its Depression Task Force (DTF) – an outstanding collaboration of seven leading scientists, at the frontiers of brain science, from different research institutions across the U.S. and Canada. These scientists have developed an unprecedented research strategy that integrates the most advanced knowledge in genetics, epigenetics, molecular biology, electrophysiology, and brain imaging. To accelerate breakthrough research, they share ongoing results, in real time, at the HDRF Data Center.

We were pleased to welcome and meet a vibrant, international crowd, who was knowledgeable and interested to learn more about modern and contemporary fine art.”
Christian Hohmann, Director of HOHMANN (Palm Desert), said, “It was our first time participating in CONTEXT and Art New York, and in fact I hadn’t been back to New York in years. It was an incredible experience and we made some fabulous new clients, met some very good artists, and we are going home happy and inspired. The fair was vibrant, and the kind of conversations we had with prospective buyers were a testimony to how sophisticated New Yorkers are. Kudos to fair management, who did an outstanding job.”
This year, many of the special exhibitors at Art New York and CONTEXT New York placed a heavy emphasis on social consciousness:
Jason Myers’ The 99%: United We Stand, an installation of intimately-scaled portraits, each representing a faceless, nameless member of the 99%, presented by Long-Sharp Gallery.
Inside/Out, an exhibition of paintings, drawings and sculptures depicting both interiors and exteriors, was created by alumni of the New York Academy of Art’s graduate school.
Welcome, an installation shining light on the current refugee crisis, was created from barbed wire and plated in 24-karat gold. Presented by Amarist Studio, all proceeds benefited USA for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency.
All Proceeds, a series of conceptual works by artist, educator and Director of Adult and Academic Programs at MoMA,Pablo Helguera. One hundred percent of funds were donated to a variety of organizations that support social issue causes, including United We Dream, Planned Parenthoodand American Civil Liberties Union.
Tone Pictures: Our Year of Dissent, by Ted Riederer, featured photo emulsion prints made with records that he recorded himself and cut to vinyl.
Untitled/Water Glass, by Terry Berkowitz, asked the age-old rhetorical question, “Do you see the glass as half full or half empty?”
Richard Garet’s Open, explored the suggestive and poetic notion of crossing through an opening into the unknown.
