TCS Intro ~ 5/19/00


Cocktails With Courtney
Hey You! Yes, that's right -- You. Sitting there in front of the computer. It's gorgeous out, isn't it? Now … wouldn't it be nice to be outside in that glorious weather? Imagine. You. The trees. The sun beaming through the trees. The soft Spring breeze caressing your face, glad to feel something other than commercial air pumped through air ducts. And your fingers and toes! They're so happy to be curling around a champagne glass and wriggling in your shiny spats. Ah yes, Springtime in New York. The most spectacular and refreshing time in the Big Apple. And just before the first long weekend of the Summertime is our Spring Black Tie benefit.

What a better way to kick-off your Memorial Weekend festivities? Start them right by celebrating with your new media friends in a setting fit for Queens and Kings of the digital realm, as we raise money for future Princesses and Princes with our Digital Divide fund through the City Cares organization. Get all dressed up before you undress for the rest of the weekend: go from a tux to a Speedo in a matter of days! How fun is that?

We've hired a smashingly good six-piece jazz band to further entice you to kick up your heels. We’ve also landed some tempting raffle prizes to pamper you after the event, and organized a supercalifragilisticexpealidoscious gift bag for you. You'll be able to start your own martini set after this one!

So, don't pack up your bags for the Hamptons before you enjoy a night in the garden under the stars at our Spring Black Tie benefit in Central Park's Boathouse.
