Featuring musical guests Dar Williams, Guy Davis, Linda Richards, and honoring NY Assemblyperson Ellen Jaffee, and former Westchester County Executive, Andrew Spano
Clearwater and The Connie Hogarth Center for Social Action will host a benefit to support Clearwater’s Indian Point Campaign, Sunday, April 28, from 3:00-6:00 PM at Reid Castle at Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY.
Clearwater has been at the forefront of the fight to close Indian Point to prevent the relicensing of outdated facility. Since its inception 15 years ago, the Connie Hogarth Center for Social Action has also actively opposed Indian Point and called for its closure. This intimate gathering will bring together many influential individuals from a constituency that is building community momentum to see the Indian Point nuclear facility permanently closed.
Special honored guests include New York Assembly Member, Ellen Jaffee, and former Westchester County Executive, Andrew Spano.
The event will also feature musical performances by singer-songwriter and pop folk artist, Dar Williams; bluesman, Guy Davis; and Hudson Valley songstress, Linda Richards.
The event will also feature a reception and silent auction that includes a week at a villa in Italy, fine wine, a Peter Max print and other fine art and photography, including a signed print of the artwork for the album, River of Dreams, signed by Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley.
Other auction items include:
- Painting by Russell Cussick
