Super Fun Cocktail Party in a Salty Setting 
Auctions & Live Music by John Schwartzberg

Join us for an unforgettable evening in the historic Wooden Boat Shop (Building J) on Oyster Bay’s western waterfront. This is where the IDA MAY was built, and the oyster sloop CHRISTEEN was restored. We will honor Fritz Coudert, founder of The WaterFront Center, and others who created this wonderful organization.

This special evening will feature a celebration of our achievements, a vision for the future, and the opportunity to raise vital funds to ensure our programs remain accessible for the next 25 years. Let’s raise a glass, raise awareness, and raise support to connect people to the water through education and recreation for generations to come!
