    New York socials, philanthropists, and celebrities all attended the black tie affair among them Marc Rosen, Arlene Dahl, Muffie Potter Aston, legendary (or is it infamous) Fox newscaster Ernie Anastos, Somers Farkas and Princess Marina Sturdza to name a few.  Lighthouse International is a non-profit organization that has been dedicated to the cause of vision loss.  Their goal is to help rehabilitate the lives of those who have suffered from vision loss and bring normalcy to those lives through research, education, clinical services, and advocacy.
