The show hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 20, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 21. To do so effectively, AmeriCares obtains donations of medicines, medical supplies and other relief materials from American companies. These products are then delivered safely and reliably to indigenous welfare professionals in the many countries where AmeriCares sends aid. AmeriCares not only has extensive international programs, they also reach out domestically with disaster relief. AmeriCares relies upon contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations to support its programs.
Gifts are tax deductible.
It is a pleasure to announce that the honorary chairman of the antiques show is Mary Travers. A resident of Fairfield County, Ms. Travers is well known by local antiques dealers for her love of antiques and has graciously given her support to the Gala Preview Party to benefit AmeriCares. Also supporting AmeriCares, the celebrated actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein will treat purchasers of patron level tickets to a pre-preview tour of the antiques show. A wonderful sense of romance is added to the evening, which takes place in the lovely, century-old Lounsbury Mansion. Champagne, wine, beer and San Pellagrino mineral water will be served throughout the evening.
