5\/28\/16 Kicking it all off this year is the\u00a0GLBT Network of Long Island’s Summer Kick-off<\/a>. \u00a0 Yes, there is a lot <\/i>of kicking involved on this date. \u00a0But what did you expect from a gay event? \u00a0 \u00a0The Network is an association of non-profits that work to serve the LGBT community both young and old from Queens (the location) to… Montauk. \u00a0The group started a community center in the Hamptons, the first of it’s kind on the east end. \u00a0 In fact, all proceeds from this event are earmarked for the center located at the Whaler’s Church in Sag Harbor. \u00a0 \u00a0 The location is the Bridgehampton Surf an Tennis Club.. and this is the first big event of the season. \u00a0 Tickets start at $250 till this Friday and then go to $300, which is pretty reasonable for a Hamptons event with open bar and appetizers. \u00a0The best reason to go:\u00a0Other than the mingling and the scenery, the silent auction will feature everything from VIP spa treatments to having drinks with Bravo’s Andy Cohen. \u00a0Potential Reason to skip it:\u00a0\u00a0If you’re expecting a scantily clad beach party forget it. \u00a0It’s Memorial Day weekend on the ocean… it’s more like sweaters and long pants. But hey, you’re still on the beach and there hopefully won’t be any snow!<\/p>\n

6\/4\/16\u00a0Southampton Fresh Air Home Sale and Auction Benefit Gala<\/a>\u00a0– Southampton FAH provides a camp experience for physically challenged youth with sailing, swimming, hiking, etc.\u00a0\u00a0 The benefit which is called the “GREATEST YARD SALE ON EARTH” is held at their facility on Barkers Island Road in Southampton \u00a0It’s one of the more mellow benefits of the season but it’s a who’s who mixer for everyone in Southampton. \u00a0 Tickets start at $250 and go and up. \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0The best reason to go: \u00a0The furniture in the silent auction is amazing stuff… they’re are also great trips and everything from teeth whitening to fishing trips available. \u00a0It’s not Home Goods prices but there are still some good deals!\u00a0 \u00a0 Potential reason to skip it:\u00a0\u00a0The competition for best outfit is very stiff… don’t go in your jeans and a t-shirt, this crowd really knows how to work a whale belt!<\/p>\n

6\/25\/16 American Heart Association’s Heart of the Hamptons<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>-Is widely recognized as one of the premier philanthropic and festive events in the Hamptons.\u00a0The Heart of the Hamptons Ball has raised over $2.5 million for the American Heart Association since it began 15 years ago.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The event is held\u00a0at the Hayground School\u00a0in\u00a0Bridgehampton on Mitchell\u2019s Lane. Tickets start at $500 and go up. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The best reason to go:\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0Goody Bag is\u00a0one of the best of the season! \u00a0 Have you seen any wrinkles on my face lately!? \u00a0NO, that’s because I got this amazing moisturizer in last years bag! \u00a0\u00a0Potential Reason to skip it:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Just because you devour every passed hors d’ourves at the cocktail hour doesn’t mean you have an inside track for winning those\u00a0training sessions in the silent auction. \u00a0FAT ALARM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
