It was an autumn-like evening at the Children’s Museum of the East End (CMEE), where more than 200 guests gathered to support the Museum during their inaugural Arabian Nights Gala. The Moroccan themed-affair showcased the newly constructed mini golf course, where attendees could participate in “Scheherazade’s One Thousand and One Shots,” a round of Arabian Nights mini golf. Poker was another popular activity, as the tables were filled the entire night.
