The showers came and went (come on, Mother Nature), but East Enders still did it right with glamorous parties, gorgeous sunsets, wine and water. The East End’s Hospice soared into summer with its annual gala in Quogue. There were cocktails, dinner, auctions, casino games and beautiful waterfront views. Members of the International Surgical Mission Support received Good Samaritan Award for their life-saving work, Lucas Hunt served as emcee and Senator Kenneth P. LaValle came out for a night of fun to support a great cause.
