17th Annual �Living Landmarks Celebration�

On Wednesday, November 3, 2010, The New York Landmarks Conservancy President, Peg Breen, and Conservancy Board Chair, Stuart Siegel, hosted the 17th Annual �Living Landmarks Celebration� at The Plaza Hotel at Fifth Avenue, New York City.

Tisch; acclaimed interior designer Bunny Williams; and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture Director Howard Dodson who received the Lew Rudin Living Landmark Award for Public Service(biographies attached.)
The event raised just over $800,000, a twenty percent increase from 2009 final tally of $640,000. Landmark Liz Smith co-chaired the event along with Landmark Pete Peterson. Music was provided by Landmark Peter Duchin and his Orchestra. Over 400 guests attended.

The gala kicked off with cocktails at 7:00pm followed by dinner and an awards presentation. As she does every year at this event, Liz Smith commenced the awards ceremony singing a catchy tune inspired by today news and newsmakers. Throughout the evening with her wit and charm Ms. Smith reinforced the importance of preservation, saving the city through the good works of The New York Landmarks Conservancy.
