The 8th Annual Power List Party Wrap-Up

On May 25, the Long Island Press held its 8th Annual Power Party at the beautiful and stately Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn. Around 300 guests came to celebrate and pay tribute to those on the 2010 Power List, which honors the most influential people on Long Island.

The party opened with an invocation by the Rev. Roger C. Williams, pastor of The First Baptist Church in Glen Cove. Art collector and philanthropist Ambassador Arnold Saltzman spoke next, offering insight into the history of the museum. Taking the podium next was Press Publisher Jed Morey, who spoke about the paper and the yearly ranking of the movers and shakers who call Long Island home.
