Cocktail Party at East Hampton Point

If nothing else, the recession has underlined the importance of community and its role in stepping in when times are tough. So in the midst of this year's budgetary stresses and economic woes, the East Hampton Education Foundation, made up of parents and school officials, continues its five-year tradition to raise supplementary funds for programs outside the school district's budget. This Friday, April 24, from 7 to 11 p.m., the foundation is sponsoring a cocktail party fundraiser at East Hampton Point Restaurant. (Cost is $25 in advance/$30 at the door. For information, 631-329-6462.)

The foundation sponsors, among many other programs, Author in Hand which helps to fund book fairs, the Quilts of Valor project for returning veterans, and the East Hampton Middle School Challenge Day, encouraging tolerance among peers.
