On October 14, supporters of street artist Michael Bailey gathered to enjoy a delicious lunch and meet Michael (aka ‘Zebra’) at Tesoro D’Italia in Pleasantville. Michael paints prints of sports figures and sells them outside of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. The event was helped to (successfully!) raise money for a new scooter for Michael, who is disabled. Each donation of $25 was earmarked toward its purchase. At the same time, those gathered enjoyed an afternoon of good food and good company. Original paintings by Michael were also available for viewing and/or for purchase. The event was supported by Roslyn Costabile, Dr. J. Loren Russell, Jeff Gilbert and John Sabaljia, and the many Rotary Clubs under the guidance of Rev. Dr. J. Loren Russell.
