North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center in Roslyn Heights, the non-profit organization that provides children’s mental health services, is hosting its annual Spring Luncheon at the Glen Head Country Club on April 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The keynote speaker will be Katie Fogarty, a podcaster, pro-age
advocate and host of the top-ranked podcast “A Certain Age,” a show that spotlights women reinventing midlife. She also hosts the literary podcast “The Midlife Book Club.”
The day will begin with games of mahjong, canasta, and bridge, along with shopping at a variety of Long Island’s trendiest and most charitable boutiques, including Ali Weiss Jewelry, A2Z Loungewear, Designs that Donate, 2 Friends Clothing, and more.
Due to popular demand, the Guidance Center’s signature jewelry line featuring the calendula flower, widely known for its healing properties, will return. This symbol will appear on an elegant assortment of necklaces and earrings, representing the nonprofit’s mission of providing hope and healing.
With everything from jewelry and apparel to accessories and home goods, there is something for everyone at the Spring Luncheon. There will also be plenty of opportunities to participate in raffles for luxury prizes, including a $500 gift certificate to Americana Manhasset.
