Landmark’s Spotlight Gala is Nov. 9

Rita Wilson brings a night of song at this year’s Landmark on Main Street’s Spotlight Gala, on Nov. 9 in Port Washington.

The evening will be filled with music, gourmet delicacies in the tented “Spotlight Club” and a chance to recognize this year’s honorees ­– Peter Forman (Port Washington/Manhasset Office of Emergency Management), Kirby Veevers (adjunct professor at Hofstra University and independent program consultant) and Eric Rubenstein (Ruskin Moscou Faltischek) and Tai Wang (WAC Lighting) – for their contributions to the organization and the community.   

Perhaps best know as an actress, (It's Complicated, Sleepless in Seattle, The Good Wife) and a film producer (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Mamma Mia!), Wilson, the wife of Tom Hanks, says she initially aimed to make her name as a musician. Her debut album “AM/FM” features what organizers describe as an "intimate and beautifully sung collection of classics from the 60s and 70s that together make up the soundtrack to her life."

The Spotlight Gala is Landmark's most important fundraising event of the year.  Gala packages, tickets and journal ads can be purchased by calling 516-767-2355 or emailinggala@landmarkonmainstreet.org.
