LONG ISLAND, NY – On Saturday, May 30th and Sunday, May 31st, Animal Rescue Foundation hosted a very successful event for Memorial Day weekend. With over 200 guests in attendance, locals shopped for luxury home items sponsored by Hamptons Cottages and Homes. Money was raised to support provide quality care for cats and dogs and offers sanctuary until loving homes can be found. Niche Media covered the event to help raise this awareness within the community.
Located on 22 wooded acres in Wainscott, ARF’s “no kill” adoption center helps to place over 1,000 cats and dogs into loving homes every year. Most of the animals come from “high kill” animal control centers from around the United States and are saved by ARF. ARF continues to care for an animal regardless of how long it takes to find a home, except in extraordinary circumstances.

While guests gave generously to this cause, they enjoyed local wine sponsored by Channing Daughter’s vineyards and handcrafted canapé hors d’ouerves by Insatiable EATS Catering of the Hamptons. One food critic in attendance touted this as the “best food of any cocktail party” food he has ever had.

“Now everyone can enjoy a taste of the summer.” reveals Sheila Minkel Barrila. “Insatiable EATS offers handcrafted canapes packages to go to make planning your party so much easier. They are must-haves for hosting a cocktail party on short notice or an impromptu picnic on a summery day. They can be also used for either a party in its own right or as a prelude to a sit down affair. Chef Marco says that “myriad of criteria are involved in making the perfect canapé. Easy to eat and a perfect size with no chance of drip, dribble or splatter”. Amuse bouche, bonne bouche, market nibbles, mini mouthfuls; the Insatiable canapé hors d’ouerves are a taste sensation and appealing to the eye. There are over 50 types to choose from and are sold by the dozens. They are so delicious that they disappear in minutes.”
