The Horticultural Society of New York invites you to the
BLOCK PARTY
Wednesday, November 12, 6 to 9pm  @  Sequoia - Pier 17, South Street Seaport
BLOCK PARTY is an art auction and cocktail benefit that raises funds for the GreenHouse Program on Rikers Island. Hot 97 radio personality Minya Oh (aka Miss Info) will host the evening, DJ Chairman Mao will provide the music, and the silent auction will include original works by a collection of exceptional contemporary artists. So join us on November 12 and enjoy wonderful food, spirits, sweeping views of the river, and the company of artists, collectors, and other downtown luminaries—all in support of a truly good cause.
