arrangements.

d’oeuvres, and live piano music. The
setting provided a backdrop for

difference during the holiday season.

time to reflect on our blessings and
give back to those in need,” said
Shafiroff. “The Mission Society of New
York City is an organization I hold
close to my heart, and I am thrilled to
