Trestle Inc. - 150th Commemoration Calendar

Trestle Held Their Annual Holiday Gala On Sunday, November 22, 2015

“A Step Back In Time: Celebrating Newburgh’s 150th Commemoration Of The City Charter”…people came out and celebrated the beginning of the holidays with us, as we stepped back in time…

The afternoon was celebrated with Jazz, Food, Photos & More, from 2:00-5:00 pm at the Meadowbrook Lodge, New Windsor, NY. Included was a special celebration of Newburgh in Photos through the eyes of Ralph Aiello and the stories Carl Aiello shared. As holiday spirits were enkindled, and the holiday season was brought in, we celebrated 150 years of Newburgh together!

  • Palates were savored with hot & cold hôr d’oeuvres: antipasto, cocktail meatballs, chilled shrimp, wrapped sea scallops, skewered chicken, spring rolls, cheese platters, pasta & carving stations, and more, coffee & dessert.
  • Everyone received a glass of champagne in antique glasses, as they walked in the door; there was unlimited wine & a cash bar.
  • Chris Dare, International Illusionist, mesmerized us with his personal “magic with a purpose.”
  • The music of The Joe Carozza Jazz Band, #1 in Rhythm & News, uplifted us.
  • Trestle’s first Calendar was unveiled: Newburgh’s Limited Edition 150th Newburgh Commemorative Calendar; preordered calendars were distributed, additional orders were taken ($20.00).
  • Tickets were $75.00 each.
  • Proceeds were used to support Trestle’s art initiatives in the New Year.              

 

As we stepped back in time… it was an afternoon full of holiday festivities, uplifting jazz that captivated dancing feet! People who attended stepped back in time & celebrated the the beginning of the holidays with us! It was an absolutely beautiful afternoon! Thank you.
