From Ossining Matters: Ossining MATTERS will host its 2017 benefit event “The Big Soirée” on Saturday, March 25, 7:30 PM, at The Briarcliff Manor. The evening will begin with a cocktail reception (beer, wine and a signature drink) where guests will have a chance to mingle, explore the beautiful rooms, and take in the Hudson River views from the mansion. Silent auction items will be on display throughout the venue and guests may participate in the “Million Milestone Penny Auction” as they enjoy live music courtesy of the spectacular Ossining High School Jazz Band.
