| The 31st annual Frederick Law Olmsted Awards Luncheon, hosted by the Women's Committee of the Central Park Conservancy, was held yesterday in a tent set up in the Conservatory Garden. Known as the Hat Luncheon, this festive affair is a major fundraiser for the Women's Committee. Their funds go mainly toward maintenance of the Park. They raised a record $3.3 million yesterday. Jenny and John Paulson were honored from the Paulson's pledge of $100 millioin to the Conservancy. There were 1300 guests, a record number. It is the most popular and sought after ticket on the Spring luncheon calendar in New York. |
