The Great Gatsby Affair,
An Evening of Glamour and Elegance
October 4, 2008
 
The Ridgewood Public Library Foundation welcomed more than 260 guests at Saturday's elegant Great Gatsby Affair, benefitting the Ridgewood Library and honoring longtime Ridgewood residents and philanthropists Gael and Duke Habernickel.  
 
The Sheraton's penthouse Skylight Ballroom was transformed to reproduce the glamorous Roaring 20's, celebrating the stylish world of Gatsby with free flowing champagne and delicacies and hot music by Total Soul. Cool sparkling women glided across the floor with gallant men in white dinner jackets, amid palm trees twinkling with lights and abundant hydrangea blooms everywhere. Truly a night to remember.
 
A very special thank you to our Platinum and Gold Sponsors and to all of our guests, whose outstanding support of the Library ensures
that it remains the cultural cornerstone of our community.
