Virtual Breakfast Session #59: "Dealing With Gen Z" To the average Boomer, Gen Z is a puzzle. To us, they live on social media, they’re more apt to text than talk and seem anxious. But if you’re a business owner they’re growing in importance daily, they control huge sums of money and are molding the norms of the future. To survive, you better adopt a Darwinian attitude and “Adapt or Die”. Seriously, they are different than us, but no different than we were to our parents and grandparents…except now we’re the ones who must change.

There are some things we know without question: April showers bring May flowers, spring gives way to summer, and the winter holidays will be here before we know it.   We’ve already had several folks reach out to us to start planning, and we know some of the most popular venues are starting to close off some dates on their winter calendars. Let us know if you're ready to get started!

A great organization and such a fun event!

One week ago, we celebrated all that the amazing Open House New York does for New York at their Open City Benefit, hosted at the Javits Center. Open House New York promotes broad, unparalleled access to the city—to the places, people, projects, systems, and ideas that define New York and its future. ⁠ ⁠ The evening's guests were able to enjoy an array of delicious dishes, live music, and had the incredible opportunity to tour the farm at North Javits! ⁠ ⁠ Special Thanks to⁠ Party Rental - Party Rental Ltd.

Last week we gathered at Hall des Lumières to honor our Board Chair Cynthia Edelson and Corporate Champion FOODMatch + Divina at The Art of Cooking Benefit Gala.⁠ ⁠ Teen Culinary Apprentices from the Work-Based Learning program served up delicious and healthy bites during cocktail hour using ingredients provided by FOODMatch + Divina! The students prepared artichoke flatbread, summer rolls with Thai sunflower satay sauce, and pimento cheese with crostini for guests to enjoy. ⁠ Founder of The Sylvia Center Liz Neumark shared her story of starting the nonprofit, and Dana Dessources, 2023 Divina Future Community Leader award recipient, spoke on her experience being a teen culinary apprentice.⁠ Our Executive Director Barbara Glassman welcomed our guests. ⁠ A live auction followed, hosted by Chef Ayesha Nurdjaja, Executive Chef/Partner at Shuka & Shukette. A rousing success, $690,000 was raised in support of our plant-powered culinary programs!⁠ ⁠ We extend the biggest thank you to our honorees, supporters, and to everyone who joined us in celebration!⁠ ⁠ Special thanks to: Aspira Wines, Constellation Brands Fleurish by Marc Eliot Rockey’s Liqueur Great Performances Photography by Great Performances
