DiNapoli to help Jaffee raise funds
-
- March
- 17
New York state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli is scheduled to visit Rockland in an effort to help raise funds for State Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee, D-Suffern.
The fundraiser is set for 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. March 29 at Pretty Penny, the historic home of Helen Hayes, who was, and I think still is, considered the First Lady of American Theater. “Younger” folks would best remember Hayes from all the old Love Bug movies. She also played a great stowaway in the original Airport movie.
Anyway, since her death at age 92 exactly 16 years ago today, several new owners are said to have spent considerable money updating the Nyack home. The only drag is that the public can’t enjoy it without a special invite, since a brick wall and trees were put up by one of those owners, Rosie O’Donnell, who needed to beef up her security. While Hayes lived there, it was open for all to see, and each spring, she was fond of inviting the public in to see her roses.
If you want more info about Jaffee’s fundraiser, call Sande Lefkowitz at 845-641-3835.
