The honoree of the evening was "acclaimed weaver" and humanitarian, Carol Cassidy. The theme of this year's 2009 Summer Gala was Asian Laughter, due to a recent LongHouse Reserve trip to Southeast Asia.

All proceeds from this year's gala went to support the LongHouse Reserve, "whose arboretum, sculpture gardens, and educational programs, unite art and nature, aesthetics and spirit." The mission of LongHouse Reserve is "to exemplify living with art in all forms. Several highlights of the evening included interpretive dance performances by the The Angkor Dance Troupe, a performance by internationally-acclaimed Korean drummer Vongku Park, and various art exhibits on display throughout the estate's property. Guests not only dined on Eastern delicacies, but each person got to take home a one-of-a-kind, brightly-colored silk scarf, designed by Carol Cassidy herself.
