The 37th annual Spencertown Revels, a mid-winter movable feast to benefit Spencertown Academy Arts Center, celebrated the Chinese New Year 4709, the year of the rabbit, on Saturday January 29. Academy member Ektoras Binikos, one of NYC’s most in-demand mixologists, created a special cocktail for the occasion, and the Academy’s outstanding volunteer catering crew, Let’s Eat, served up an astonishing array of dim sum hors d’oeuvres, which they were making fresh with guidance from Academy member Tung Chi Lee. Before everyone dispersed to dinner parties in homes throughout the area, Tom Lee took to the stage to describe artsVoyage, now in its sixth year, the Academy’s impressive arts-in-education program in the local public schools. At right: Jack Shear presenting an outstanding service award to Claire Verenazi, a founding member who is retiring from the board after nearly forty years.
