OCNY’s Trust and Estates Committee Hosts events at Bonhams and the Lambs Club

Last fall OCNY’s Trust and Estates Committee hosted a unique private viewing of impressionist and modern art for many of the Foundation’s donors and friends the day before the collection was set to go to auction at Bonhams, one of the oldest and largest fine art auction houses in the world. The collection included over 75 works by such artists as Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Marc Chagall, Auguste Rodin and many others.

Last spring the Committee also hosted a dinner at the Lamb’s Club in Midtown Manhattan that was designed to introduce the work of the College and the University Eye Center to a new audience of wealth managers and lawyers. Dozens of attendees listened to a presentation about SUNY Optometry, learning about its educational, patient care and research missions, and had the opportunity to speak directly with faculty members and administrators who were in attendance.
