FFTA MemoriesShelly Perlman FosterWe are very sad to report the untimely death of Shelly Perlman Foster on Monday, March 8, 2010. Shelly was President of the Board of Directors of FFTA and one of its strongest supporters since its earliest days. Shelly fought a brave and courageous battle for three and a half years and did so with dignity, a positive spirit and always with a smile on her face. Shelly will be sadly missed by the many whose lives she touched along the way. We extend our deepest sympathy to Shelly’s devoted husband, Duncan, to her loving sons Jonathan and Harrison, to her adoring parents Doris and Bert and sister Ellen. Shelly requested that any donations made to FFTA in her memory be used towards outreach and education in the school systems and hospital programs. If you would like information about donating or have any other questions, please contact FFTA # 914-939-1180. Evening at Stonewall Pond
The event was a great success consisting of a gourmet food from local restaurants such as Solaia Enoteca & Ristorante in Greenwich, Café Mirage (Port Chester), Ruby’s Oyster Bar & Bistro and Morgans Fish House in Rye, Truffles Caterers (Port Chester), Sonora (Port Chester) and wine tasting sponsored by local merchants The Wine Gallery in Rye Brook and Wine at Five in Rye, along with a silent auction. All proceeds went to benefit the New York/ CT non-profit adoption placement agency and resource center that’s mission is to help children find their forever families and keep “harder to place” children out of the foster care system.
