Manhasset SEPTAs Ladies Night Out

Manhasset Special Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA) held its Spring Fling fundraiser on Thursday, May 5, at the Port Washington Yacht Club. The gala event was a wonderful girl’s night out with good friends, exciting raffle prizes and fun. The sold-out annual event had a Cinco de Mayo theme appropriate for the date, and all who attended enjoyed a complimentary Skinny Girl margarita and a delicious spread to nibble on. SEPTA President Blanca McKenna thanked all who attended as well as the hardworking committee who helped to make the evening a grand success.
