I like art. I certainly enjoy a party. And I’m passionate about the good work done by Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County.

On April 8, Habitat is hosting its second live auction and art show to raise money to help people who need homes. The event is in memory of longtime Habitat supporter and art lover Judy McCabe, who worked tirelessly to plan last year’s successful auction of paintings donated by Dick Poole, a lawyer and collector with terminal cancer who made this event part of his considerable legacy to the community.

A year later, both Judy and Dick are gone. But their dedication to helping others lives on.

This year’s event, aptly titled There is no pARTy without ART, will be held at Christ Church Christiana Hundred in Greenville, 6-8:30 p.m. It’s co-chaired by ardent art patrons Cindy Pettinaro Wilkinson and Stephen Mottola. Tickets are $80 for couples, $50 for individuals.

I’ll be there. Hope you will be, too!
