We extend our gratitude to the Club and our NYYC member-host Helen Miller for making this evening possible in an exquisite venue that reminds us of the inspirational power of the sea. While the mission at Sailing Heals is not to offer a cure for cancer or quick-fix for other serious health setbacks, we believe that helping “VIP” guests (patients and caregivers) escape for a rejuvenating day at sea leads to lasting memories and new friendships. Sailing Heals originated in Marblehead, MA in 2011, and, since then, we have hosted spirit-lifting sails for more than 2,500 VIPs in over 20 ports—including the Manhattan, Long Island and Greenwich, CT areas—across 9 U.S. states. Our success is largely due to more than 200 volunteer yacht captains enrolled in our program, our volunteers, and dedicated donors and supporters like you. This evening is a result of the dedication and talent of many extraordinary people. We bestow our heartfelt appreciation on highly-respected fashion couture designers Maggie Norris and Rene Ruiz for their generosity, talents and time, and for the additional support provided to us from their dedicated teams. We are so pleased that some of our “VIP” guests will be joining us as models this evening. Our Host Committee has also worked passionately to share our mission with New Yorkers for this event and we thank each of them. We are very grateful to James Aguiar, National Fashion Director of Modern Luxury for his help as Emcee. We would like to thank all our auction donors listed in this program, as well as Ike Behar for loaning tuxedos, Alex Soldier for loaning the fine accessories, andMario Gatti, owner of the Marc Joseph Salon, for providing the hair and make-up for our beautiful models. It wouldn’t be a celebration without raising a glass and we thank Laurence Noble of Gubinelli Malbec for sponsoring the welcome toast! Our dear friends at Digital Touch Inc. and I Can Do That Productions have also been incredibly generous with their time and expertise. Enjoy the beautiful spirit of the evening and find out more about our mission as you relax and enjoy the historic relevance of this magnificent venue. Shop for yourself— or another—via our very special auction items and immerse yourself in the glamour of the couture designs, keeping in mind that all proceeds from sales from the evening will help us help others escape for a spirit-lifting day at sea!

SECTION II STICKING TO ‘A’ MALLS Developers Boost New Centers, Formats By SHARON EDELSON LAS VEGAS — The shopping center sector has always been Darwinian, but now more than ever, it’s survival of the fittest.

For example, Macerich sold 13 centers in the last 18 months, said Robert Perlmutter, executive vice president of leasing, adding, “They were in smaller markets and were lower-growth assets.” Basic “We’re also selling C and D malls,” said Joseph Coradino, chief executive officer of PREIT. “We sold three last year and have three for sale now and one in agreement.
