It was black tie optional with an “enchanted woods” theme for the Windy Hill Gala at Salamander Resort and Spa in late March. Guests were encouraged to wear something green or flaunt whimsical florals and botanicals. Add fern on your lapel or pin a leaf brooch for a subtle touch or make a magical statement with a floral crown, fairy-inspired gown or green velvet cloak. This year’s gala, with Bonnie Piper as chair, raised more than $150,000 from auctions, including $100,000 coming from the Raise the Paddle portion to build the Mascatello Recreation Trail at Washburn Place in Marshall. This sports and recreation trail is in honor of the Mascatello family and their passion for building community and creating better futures for children.
