Spring into the season and support Mohonk Preserve at the livestreamed 24th annual benefit auction on Saturday, April 17 from 7 to 8 p.m. To view auction items and learn more about the event, visit www.mohonk.givesmart.com.

This event will be hosted by Alex Sherwood, director of hotel operations at Mohonk Mountain House, and will feature messages from special guests including actors, activists and Preserve neighbors Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody, professional climber, advocate and Gunks legend Lynn Hill and musical performances by singer-songwriter Eric Hutchinson.

Viewers will have the opportunity to support the Preserve’s conservation mission by bidding on a selection of inspired auction items including artwork, jewelry, on-land experiences with Preserve staff members. Featured trips include a getaway to San Francisco and Sonoma, a sunny Cabo San Lucas retreat, rafting on Idaho’s Salmon River with OARS, and a campout at the Mountain House’s Sky Top Tower. 

Tickets start at $10 and auction bidding is open now and will close on April 17 at the end of the livestream. To view auction items and donation opportunities or purchase event tickets visit www.mohonk.givesmart.com.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
