On Thursday, May 9, we celebrated eight remarkable preservation projects with over 100 friends and supporters in the beautiful New York Yacht Club. It was an inspiring night and we were thrilled to recognize such truly deserving examples of preservation excellence. The League was also proud to award the inaugural Zabar Scholarships to three current preservation students: Tabitha O'Connell, Camille Sasena, and Ryan Zeek.
