| The first match of the season at Greenwich Polo Club was held last week on June 8, and was attended by French visitors -- Erwin Creed – the handsome 7th generation of the House of CREED royal perfume house and Jean Godet, eleventh generation of the legendary Godet Cognac companyas well as other distinguished guests for whom the start of the Greenwich season is not to be missed. The original first match of the season, scheduled for Sunday, June 1, was cancelled as heavy rains the night before left the field unplayable. This past Sunday’s 92-degree weather, humidity, occasional rain and approaching thunder and lightning dampened neither the determination of the players nor the enthusiasm of the spectators. It was a dramatic match as Team Zuma opposed Team Airstream to a tie in the sixth chukker. The match was won by Zuma in overtime. Sponsors included Veuve Clicquot, CREED and Field Point Custom Homes. Erwin CREED presented CREED fragrances Millesime Imperial and Himalaya to all eight players at the close of the match. |

| A few weeks ago, Tony De Lorenzo, whose gallery is full of the best mid-20th century furniture, mounted a painting exhibition by abstract expressionist Rosalyn Engelman, at his adjoining gallery called Gallery 440 on Lafayette Street. Ms. Engelman had met Tony at an upstate New York resort during a family vacation. She and the dealer struck up a conversation, resulting in his visiting her apartment to view art and antiques. Hanging among her noteworthy contemporary collection highlighting artists such as Jennifer Bartlett and Frank Stella, were several of her own works, to which he was attracted immediately. The gallery owner was so taken with Engelman's exuberant paintings, that he offered her an exhibition. Thus, the wheels were set in motion for the show at Gallery 440. |

| Rosalyn's other exhibition at The Hebrew Union College Museum, 1 West 4th Street, runs through July 11. Called "Dry Tears," this installation was inspired by the suffering of those who endure cruelty and deprivation around the world. It deals with the most vulnerable victims of violence and violation - women and children. The artist used life-sized representational materials, which resonate universal concerns in dramatic fashion. Metal, plastic and paint combine in expressive outrage against war, hardship, and resulting barbarism. In the crowd were Michel Witmer, Titia Velenga, Matthew Goldstein, Eduardo Marti, William Newman, Dr. Laura Phillips, Scott Cohen, Roger Webster, Rosalee Wolf, Jeanie Rosensaft, Laura Kruger, Carol Hochman, and Sarah Hill.
