Randy Passono At Your Service                             
This special evening at Howe Caverns will include a silent and live auction -- with popular area auctioneer Randy Passonno, Collar City Auctions Realty & Management, Inc. -- which will culminate in bidding for the professional services of personal chef Michael DeSalvatore (Amsterdam) to prepare a gourmet meal in the winning bidder's home/office. Mr. DeSalvatore is currently a student at SUNY Cobleskill and Sous Chef at Howe Caverns.

Chef on the Block
At 6' 5", 296-pounds, handsome SUNY Chef Michael DeSalvatore, formerly of Averill Park and now of Amsterdam, NY, seems better suited for the gridiron than the griddle. Within a moment's conversation, however, it's clear that this energetic hulk of a culinary maven is as gentle as a super-sized creampuff. Being selected as the centerpiece of the Landis Arboretum Holiday Dinner-Auction breaks new ground for him.

"Having the opportunity to work with the winning bidder at the Dinner-Auction to create a menu, shop for it, then cook and serve a specially planned dinner will be awesome. Simply awesome!" The Arboretum thinks so, too. Mike vows he won't go cheap. Guests at the event should prepare for the bidding war.

Shimmering Memento
Esperance jeweler Judy Helfrich has created a sparkling sterling silver interpretation of the Great Oak, iconic symbol of the 548-acre Capital Region Arboretum. Approximately one inch by one inch, the pin appears as textured/filigreed silver to create the leafy impact of the Arboretum symbol. It will be signed Landis Arboretum on the back and will be available as a pin and as a necklace/charm via a jump-ring attachment. The pendant/pin will be offered in a green satin pouch -- perfect for gift-giving even to oneself. This wearable work of art will be available for display and on-site orders at the Holiday Dinner-Auction.
