CELESTIAL UNDERWRITERS 2014We would like to extend a special thanks to our general underwriters who helped make Celestial sparkle with
their generous donations.
Alexander is the co-founder of Paddle8, the online auction house backed by art-world insiders Damien Hirst
and Jay Jopling, and the investors behind Uber, Buzzfeed, Warby Parker, and Paperless Post, among others.
Paddle8 is transforming the way that people collect, creating a marketplace for collectors to buy and sell
extraordinary works of art and design through online auctions. The site presents two types of sales: Paddle8's
curated sales of works under $100,000, and benefit auctions in partnership with non-profit organizations—all
of which increase collectors' access to coveted works of art and design, sold with the lowest possible fees.
Prior to co-founding Paddle8 with Aditya Julka, Alexander was chief auctioneer and worldwide head of
marketing at Phillips and one of the youngest executives in the history of LVMH. As the leading auctioneer of
his generation, Alexander has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in bids to support causes such as The
Guggenheim and AmfAR and selling works like Warhol's "Quadruple Marilyn" for $38MM. He was educated at
Eton College.

AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPYYour family will welcome this new addition with open arms, because, let's face it,
there are few things on earth that are cuter than a purebred, Golden Retriever puppy.
In fact, we can't think of any. This American Kennel Club-certified female pup, to be
delivered by the stork before the auction, will boast all the good breeding of a
proper lady or gentleman, and come with proof of lineage from a highly reputable
breeder, who will protect the little one's health and ensure proper socialization occurs
before the puppy joins your household. Golden Retrievers are, of course, the ultimate
family dogs, fabulous and patient with children, loyal to their masters, and highly
trainable. Plus, they're wicked cuddly. Picking out a name, yet?

PRIVATE DINNER WITH RICHARD GERE ANDCHEF MICHAEL WHITE AT THE BEDFORD POSTThere are delicious changes afoot at the Bedford Post, and you and nine
friends are invited to experience them firsthand at a dinner table with
Richard Gere, the Post's co-owner, and Michael White, the new Chef and
overseer of all things food-related at our beloved Relais and Chateaux
local. Lest you need any reminding of who your dinner partners are,
please allow us to clarify: one of your dinner partners is an RCS dad who
has starred in “American Gigolo,” “An Officer and a Gentleman,” “Pretty Woman,” and “Chicago,” and, though we know
he's too modest to ever admit it, has helped to define our collective concept of Sexy American Leading Man. Um, so
there's that. Your other dinner partner is a multiple Michelin and New York Times-starred chef, who's won the James
Beard award, who has opened Marea, Osteria Morini, and Ai Fiori (among others), three of the most celebrated
restaurants in Manhattan, and whose soulful, refined interpretations of Italian cuisine has had food critics doing
cartwheels for years. All in all, this is a priceless opportunity to feel part of the newly calibrated direction in dining at
the Bedford Post, and to enjoy the company of two charming men who happen to be at the top of their fields, but whose
unassuming demeanors and desire to create a wonderful experience for all who walk through the Post's doors make
them the dream hosts for this cozy, fun dinner party that just happens to be worthy of a spread in Bon Appetit.

“BOYS’ NIGHT IN” ON THE UPPER CAMPUSTurn the Upper Campus of RCS into the ultimate “man cave”
for your boys when they join RCS faculty members Mr. Barrett,
Mr. Ragonesi, Mr. Willson, Mr. Florio and Mr. Hart for an
evening of classic guy time and fun! The teachers (God
bless ‘em...) will host up to twenty boys for a night of basket-
ball, soccer and other rowdy games in the gym. The theatre
will be magically transformed into a sick (in a good way!)
gaming station, where our young competitors will duke it out
on a giant video screen. Students will then dine on pizza, play
cards, watch movies in the library and end the evening with a
sleepover, during which each of the boys will receive the full ten hours of shut-eye recommended by the National
Sleep Foundation. We kid! And one more thing: before pick-up at nine o’clock the next morning, the boys will enjoy
lots of gooey donuts for breakfast. Told you this was the ultimate. Date to be mutually agreed upon.

KENTUCKY DERBY 2015Bucket list, anyone? Up to six sports fans will whisk down to the
Bluegrass State on the first weekend in May for the annual Run for
the Roses, where they will sip juleps in a private box at Churchill

the course of a two night stay at a Lexington-area hotel, guests will
not only have finish line seats on Derby Day, but are also invited to
tour a premier horse farm, enjoy a small batch Bourbon tasting, and
unwind after the races at a Southern-style dinner prepared by a
private chef. Pack your Derby hat and start handicapping! Dates are
May 1 – 3rd, 2015.

LOWER CAMPUS VIP PARKING SPACE (2014-15)AND LOWER CAMPUS VIP PARKING SPACE (2015-16)You’re running a few minutes late for morning drop-off. Your coffee cup is teetering
precariously in the cup holder. In the back of your car, your children clutch the
backpacks and sports equipment they need to lug into school. Heck, maybe there is
even a baby in the back, who you’re used to loading from car seat into stroller while
your children look on unhelpfully in the parking lot. Take heart! The winning bidder
receives no less than a personal, ultra-convenient VIP parking space right in front ofthe Lower Campus Entrance. One of these spaces is good for the 2014-15 school year,
every day, for drop-off, pick-up, and all your school appointment needs in between. The
other space is on offer for the 2015-16 school year, with identical benefits. So breathe easy, parents. You can be
mere steps away from that front door once you’ve secured what might just be the most hotly contested real
estate in the Tri-State area since the Revolutionary War was fought. May the best man or woman win!

note of it. Your flights to and from Los Angeles have been arranged,
your deluxe hotel accommodations are booked, and your tickets to the
show are in hand; all you have to do is pack something glam to wear,
because Bey and Jay, Katy and Gaga, Eminem, Taylor and Riri will be
looking fierce for the red carpet and so should you. Try to remain calm
as the Best New Artist is anointed, the Album of the Year is awarded,
and the spectacular performers take the stage, one after another (after
another…). Scratch that: don’t remain calm. This is the Grammys . We’ll
look for you on Instagram and will be waiting with bated breath to hear
every single detail when you get back!

1954 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCKThey just don’t make ‘em like this anymore. In 1947, Chevrolet got the
jump on Ford, Dodge and Studebaker by producing its Advanced
Design series of pickup trucks, a radical styling change from the
prewar model trucks. The 1954 pickup was the last of this series ever
produced, and its classic lines and unique place in the history of
American automotive engineering make this rare model a collector ’s
dream. Translation: this is one sweet ride. Richard Gere purchased this
pickup while filming “Dr. T and the Women” in Texas in 2000, and its
exterior and mechanics have been restored to perfection. In fact, the motor is completely new—provided by
Chevrolet for the restoration—and was one of only two original motors that remained in the company’s
warehouse. The truck comes with its original manuals, a partial record of its provenance, and records of
restoration, and offers you a chance to take to the open road in a gorgeous relic of the American past.

5 FOUR-NIGHT DREAM TRIP TOSAN FRANCISCO AND NAPA VALLEY
You’ve been wined and dined before, but never like this. This special
opportunity for four people affords a taste of San Francisco and Napa
Valley’s finest vintages, cuisine and accommodations. You will fly firstclass on United Airlines to San Francisco and the first night of your trip
will be spent in luxury at the Four Seasons Hotel, where you’ll retire to
your two deluxe rooms for the night after dining at Gary Danko, the
perfect restaurant at which to sample the sophisticated, contemporary
cooking the city is known for. The next day, you’ll head for Napa, with
its breathtaking views, picturesque rolling hills and miles of vineyards.
There, you’ll stay for three nights in your two studio rooms at the
Meadowood Resort, an exceptional destination on 250 rolling, private acres with its own three-star restaurant and
spa. You’ll be treated to a tasting for four at the Napa Valley Reserve Tasting Room (within walking distance from
Meadowood), where you’ll sample the Harlan Estates red that Robert M. Parker, Jr. has said “might be the single
most profound red wine made not just in California, but in the world." And you’ll dine at chef Thomas Keller’s
famed The French Laundry, where the menu changes daily, no single ingredient is repeated twice in the course of
a meal, and three Michelin stars are just another of the many accolades garnered by what chef Anthony Bourdain
decrees “the best restaurant in the world, period.” Noticing the word ‘best’ appearing a lot? That’s because this is
the best Napa Valley experience around. (United Airlines tickets must be booked by 12/31/14. Gift certificate to
the French Laundry may not exceed $1,000, and does not include wine.)

and editorial, and has documented everyone from musicians to
politicians to film luminaries to...your kid! Instead of wishing you
could be a fly on the wall as your child experiences landmark school
events big and small -- a lost tooth, a public speaking experience, a
solo performance, a sweet moment on the playground or mischievous
moment at the lunch table -- you’ll have a discreet, non-invasive artist
on the ground whose mission is to capture and record the best of
those moments as your child grows from September to June. The
result? A fabulous memory album that your whole family will cherish
for years to come, and a priceless bit of insurance, in the form of
Krasniqi’s lush, indelible images, against the conventional wisdom
that “it all goes so fast.”
