Festivities will continue in the Hamptons August 8th when the fabulously British apparel
brand, Jack Wills will continue to bring the party "British style" to the sunny Hamptons
shores. Jack Wills is arriving not with tea, nor crumpets, nor the unpleasant English
weather; but is coming instead (accompanied by delightful accents!) to unleash a love
of partying and debauchery onto the East Coast jwseasonnaires.com or Caroline Sweet 212-420-9420 x41.

Carry-On Bags: A Celebration of Lucia's Legacy
Saint John's Episcopal Church
South Main Street in Southampton
DONATIONS: contact Mary Sabo at 516.375.4707
Lucia's Angels is a foundation committed to helping women and families on
Easter Long Island with late-stage women's cancers including breast, ovarian,
cervical and uterine cancers. The foundation was created in loving memory of
Lucia Terzi Bagan. Lucia was a very giving person - no only of the material
sense but also of herself and her heart. It's no wonder she had so many friends
and family surrounding her in her final days. It was Lucia's wish that other women
and their families could have that same kind of love and support through their toughest
times. Lucia's Angels has provided help and funding for: babysitting, heating bills,
health insurance premiums, automobile repair, groceries, ambulatory trips, therapeutic
massage, salon services, Broadway shows and wigs. From special wishes like one more
trip to the beach, to providing extra child-care, to holding of a hand,
Lucia's
spirit and Angels will be there.

5th Annual Artist and Celebrity Bird House Auction
Parrish Memorial Hall located at Southampton Hospital
The East End community is flying high with excitement in anticipation of
the 5th Annual Artist and Celebrity Bird House Auction to benefit the new
Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Southampton Hospital. Actress, Renee Zellweger
will serve for the fourth year as honorary co-chair of the event, along with
Betsey Johnson, who has adorned birdhouses for the cause since its inception.
This year's auction is in memory of famed artist, Tony Rosenthal, who
passed after he began work on his birdhouse. Artist Don Saco, finished the
birdhouse, with "Rosenthal flair" and it will go up for auction.
This year the birdhouse committee has unruffled a few auction feathers to
better fit in with the problems of the failing economy. Local restaurants
and markets have generously donated food for the event. With inexpensive
raffle tickets, low opening bid prices, and an affordable admission, all
can enjoy the festivities, while donating to such a needed cause.
Also donating their time and talent are dozens of artists and celebrities
who have adorned birdhouses with 100% of the money raised benefiting the
new Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Southampton Hospital.
The Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Southampton Hospital will preview the
houses one week before the event at the Hampton Road Gallery, 36 Hampton Road
in Southampton on Saturday, October 3, from 6 to 8 p.m. Bidding on the silent
auction birdhouses will begin at the preview and be carried over to auction night.
Please call (631) 726-8715 for information and tickets. Tickets are $40.
