Garden City's Tri-town Auxiliary of United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau held its annual Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice Luncheon on April 6, 2008 at the Cherry Valley Country Club.

The entertainment was delightful. Everyone enjoyed a number of great performances from Broadway Bound Dance Center of Garden City/Valley Stream under the direction of Debbie Tavernese and Aileen Bjelland. A Mother's Day Tribute poetry presentation was performed by Rebecca & Emily Economos, Amy Messina, Danielle Smith, Catherine Parente, Jacqueline & Lauren Wander. Guests danced away the afternoon to the sound of Victor our DJ from "Let's Party".

The raffle baskets were endless. Over 50 beautiful raffle prizes were taken home by smiling winners. Those guests who did not win a basket still went home with special gifts donated by the Wander Family, Theresa O'Connell, D.M.D., David A. Naegele, D.M. D. and Dorothy Dilullo of the Garden City Salon/Spa. Here are some photos of this special day.
