Living a park life

THE Central Park Conservancy’s Women’s Committee raised $400,000 this week with a socially distanced lunch to benefit the park. The event took place at five locations, including Bethesda Fountain, Conservatory Water and Glade Arch, where well-dressed women Gillian Miniter, Muffie Potter Aston, Elyse Newhouse, Fe Fendi, Sharon Hurowitz and model Joan Smalls dined on food from picnic baskets. The Women’s Committee has raised $200 million since its inception in 1983. They recently raised more than $2 million at their 40th anniversary gala.
