Nicole Diller and Elena DiLemme. The mood was festive and fun, the setting was elegant and a wonderful time was had by all who attended this year's annual CMF Gala. The event was held at Chateau Briand in Carle Place on February 9th. The crowd was intent on having a great evening with friends while supporting Schneider Children's Hospital.

The Garden City chapter of Children's Medical Fund acknowledged the sponsors who donated raffle prizes for this event and helped to make it a resounding success, exceeding all of their expectations. They gave a special thank you to co-chairs Elen Dilemme and Lilli Diller, to all of those who attended and to all of the volunteers for their continued support. They applauded everyone involved in this year's Mardi Gras celebration for their dedication and commitment to helping children in need.
