FROM THE CHAIR<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Welcome to this year’s <strong>Heckscher</strong> Museum of<br />
Art Gala, celebrating <strong>the</strong> Roaring 20’s, <strong>the</strong><br />
decade that marked <strong>the</strong> creation of our<br />
wonderful Museum. For over 87 years, The<br />
<strong>Heckscher</strong> has depended on <strong>the</strong> community’s<br />
generosity, and with this assistance, we have<br />
grown by leaps and bounds into <strong>the</strong><br />
acclaimed Museum we are today. The <strong>the</strong>me<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Roaring 20’s is symbolic of returning to<br />
our roots with <strong>the</strong> restoration of our beautiful building being completed this<br />
year, and reminds us of our focus on continued success in <strong>the</strong> future.<br />
I know you all join with me in congratulating our honorees April Gornik and<br />
Christopher Mitchell. Both of <strong>the</strong>se extraordinary individuals, toge<strong>the</strong>r with<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir families, have been true examples of leadership and philanthropy in our<br />
communities. We are grateful to call <strong>the</strong>m friends of The <strong>Heckscher</strong> and recognize<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir achievements tonight. I would also like to thank Judith Streiter, our<br />
Gala Chair, for her vision and leadership in making this evening so spectacular.<br />
Her hard work, along with that of <strong>the</strong> committee and <strong>the</strong> dedicated staff at <strong>the</strong><br />
Museum, has made this event one to remember.<br />
Thanks to <strong>the</strong> support provided by generous individuals and businesses, we<br />
continue to fulfill our mission of engaging <strong>the</strong> people of Long Island through<br />
stimulating and inspiring programs of exhibitions and education offerings<br />
dedicated to a full understanding of <strong>the</strong> visual arts. On behalf of <strong>the</strong> entire<br />
Board of Trustees at The <strong>Heckscher</strong> Museum of Art, we thank you for your<br />
support.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Margy Hargraves<br />
Chair, Board of Trustees
