WNYT news anchor Phil Bayly regaled the guests with stories of his Scottish heritage and led the group in singing Auld Lang Syne.
Duncan Hunter enjoyed last year’s inaugural Burns Supper so much he was the first one to sign up for this year’s event.
Mark Brogna, Stacy Hamilton and John McLennan enjoy a post-supper cocktail in the Grille Room.
Colleen Ryan & Eric Hoppel looking snappy in their plaid. Eric’s Address to the Haggis was awesome again this year!
Genevieve and Ken McCauley. Ken channeled his “inner Scot” when he did a reading in full brogue. Scotch & tulips
Hostess Meredith Helgerson & her husband Jason. Meredith’s warmth and charm (and Jason’s impressive Haggis stabbing skills!) definitely make our Burns Suppers memorable!
