July 19th Gala in Southampton would honor Georgina
Bloomberg, daughter of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Over 125 Palm Beachers and residents of Southampton made an

The Shelter has a
94% release rate; over 94% of the animals that come into the
shelter are released alive. The shelter’s board of
directors oversees a van which travels in service around the
state of New York, and offers spay and neutering services to
areas in need of protecting the welfare of animals. The
Shelter also believes that the bond between animals and
humans is highly therapeutic and has an outreach program
that extends to local schools, programs for the physically
and mentally challenged and services for the elderly.
