Goodale mansion estate at The Point at the beginning of
 Peconic Bay, L.I.

At their superb estate on the Peconic Bay every summer, Dhonna and Jesse "Bobby" Robinson Goodale III organize a relaxing and glorious party beginning at 4pm in the evening that grows and grows 'till whenever ...

There is always a mix of artists, entertainers, and families, as well as accomplished business executives from Long Island and around the country.

It is a benefit for the Tara L. Stevens Foundation in memory of Dhonna's sister, Tara, a mother of 2 children who was killed by her husband in 2003.  This foundation offers scholarships to young students so that they can further their education.

The Goodales are truly philanthropists who have given a substantial 7 figure donation to the Peconic Bay Medical Center, and helped both national and international charities as well.  Dhonna herself is a gifted actress and singer who has performed on stage in NYC, LI and with national touring companies.

Last summer I introduced Dhonna to my dear 30 year friend, Albert Maysles, world famous documentary film maker of such classics as "The Beatles" in '64, the Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter" in '69 and the ever amazing "Grey Gardens" ( www.mayslesfilms.com  ) to name a few.  Albert attended last year's party as well as this recent August event.  Albert and Dhonna are working on some projects that will be announced soon.

The Goodales truly make a difference and bring "good news" to all their activities.  Bravo and accelerando ...

"We believe when much is given, much is expected ..."
