Opus for Person-to-Person has announced that its annual spring fundraiser to support the Norwalk-and Darien-based Person-to-Person will be held Saturday, April 22, 2017 at the newly renovated Tokeneke Club. The “Havana Nights” themed gala promises to be an unforgettable evening inaugurating Opus’ next 20 years of great works. With the beautifully renovated Tokeneke Club and its breathtaking views of the Long Island Sound as the backdrop, this event calls for elegant cocktail attire. Guests will experience all the glamour and vibrance of the tropics while enjoying Cuban cocktails, a gourmet sit-down dinner featuring Cuban cuisine, and an open-air cigar bar. The dance floor promises to be packed all evening with the nationally-acclaimed Sultans of Swing band returning for the second year in a row.

Opus for Person-to-Person wraps up its 20th year as a volunteer fundraising and out-reach organization by raising record amounts for Person-to-Person and returning to its roots — serving lower Fairfield county. Twenty years ago two women, Katherine Michele and Lee Hulings, felt passionate about how important Person-to-Person was to their community and the clients that they serve every day. Their hope, says Katherine Michele, “was to bring an entirely new audience, full of energy, creativity, professionalism, and a new perspective to Person-to-Person.” The name of the organization — Opus, the Latin word for ‘Great Works’ — resonated with the founders and continues, to this day. As Ms. Michele stated recently, there are “very few agencies where you can do so much good and have immediate, tangible results” for people in need. ____________
