Mangroves, Moonlight & Mykonos (23)

Enchantment at ELC’s Mangroves, Moonlight & Mykonos event

A touch of Mykonos bloomed amidst the mangroves as the Environmental Learning Center transported more than 200 guests to the sun-drenched shores of Greece for its Mangroves, Moonlight & Mykonos fundraiser, a fitting match as our own coastal gem and the famed Greek paradise are both havens for lovers of the sea.

Under a canopy of twinkling lights near the Thomas R. Schidel Education and Event Pavilion, guests dined al fresco, enjoying a family-style Greek dinner catered by Elizabeth Kennedy Catering. With traditional dishes and a specialty Aegean Sunset cocktail, attendees found themselves fully immersed in a Mediterranean evening under the crisp, clear, star-filled sky.
