On April 20, St. George's Society of New York presented its 237th annual benefit in the Grand Ballroom of The Pierre Hotel. The chairmen of The English Ball 2007 were Vicki Downey and April Gow.
The Gala evening honored Lord Saatchi, of M&C Saatchi who was presented with The St. George's Society Medal of Honour by president Peter M. Felix, CBE. The evening included dinner and dancing to the music of Alex Donner's orchestra and a live auction of luxury items with George McNeely IV, SVP of Christie's, as auctioneer.
The Society is a private, member-supported charity providing stipends to elderly/handicapped poor British and Commonwealth people living in New York. The Society also provides grants to repatriate persons to the United Kingdom, assists others referred by the British Consulate-General and offers cremation and interment in one of their three cemetery plots. It was founded in 1770 by English colonists in New York to help fellow countrymen who had fallen on hard times.
