Hamptons Gala Dos and Don’ts with First Lady of Philanthropy Jean Shafiroff

Jean ShafiroffbyJean Shafiroff
in Featured, Spotlight
Home Spotlight
First Lady of Philanthropy, Jean Shafiroff

Named as “One of the first ladies in Philanthropy” by Gotham Magazine in their ‘100 most powerful New Yorkers’ article, Jean has a served as a volunteer fundraiser and board member of Southampton Hospital Association, NYC Mission Society, NY Women’s Foundation, Couture Council (Museum at FIT), French Heritage Society, and Global Strays, to name a few.

 

She was recently also the national spokesperson for American Humane’s Covid 19 program which raised over $1,000,000 to feed hungry animals as animal shelters across the United States.

 

Jean’s managerial skills, compassion, generosity, and enthusiastic dedication are among her strongest traits as a philanthropist. She possesses a remarkable ability to connect different charitable groups with interested people and resources. She also chairs numerous galas and host events benefiting the aforementioned organizations.

 

1. What general advice can you give for attending Hamptons Events?

    a. Make sure to buy a ticket or donate! If you cannot stay for the entirety of the event, at least stay for cocktails.

     b. Give your host due notice if you are not going to attend for the whole event or attend at all.

 

2. What are the “do’s” for attending Hamptons Events?

     a. If invited by a friend to an event and they get a ticket for you, donate in honor of that friend.

     b. Follow the dress code. If the event is black tie, do not show up in beach attire or jeans.

     c. If you have a phone call or other business to attend to, excuse yourself properly and swiftly.

     d. Do have a pleasant attitude throughout the entirety of the event.

 

3. What are the “don’ts” to attending Hamptons events?

     a. Never crash or ask for a free ticket.

     b. Do not wait to buy the tickets too late. Events usually fill up quickly.

     c. If there are speeches, don’t start talking through them.

     d. Do not be on your phone at the dinner table. It is rude and makes others feel neglected.

     e. Do not complain about the food, drinks, decorations, or seating arrangements.

          Never move around place cards. That goes for any dinner party, anywhere.

 

4. Fashion Tips for Hamptons Events?

     a. Follow the dress code!

     b. We are still in recovery mode from a pandemic, and it’s been financially difficult for most people.

          Don’t feel you always have to wear something new. It’s okay to repeat an outfit.

          Take something you have and make it work!

     c. Dress appropriately for a charity event. You do not want to look like you came from the beach.

         Dress classy, with a little bit of Palm Beach flair. Solid and Floral colors are also acceptable.

     d. Be comfortable! Do not feel pressured to wear something you are not comfortable with.

     e. Men usually wear collared shirts and long pants.

     f. Don’t wear anything that would be offensive to other people, too tight, racy, or low-cut.

         It is not part of the Hamptons “look”. Hamptons is more long or short flowy dresses.

 

5. Conversation starters or ice breakers for meeting new people at these events?

     a. Start by asking, “How are you enjoying your summer?”

     b. At a charity event, you may ask, “What do you know about the charity?”

     c. Ask if there are any other events they are attending in the Hamptons for the summer.

     d. Compliment people on their outfits! That will likely warm people up.

 

6. How to Network at Hamptons Events?

     a. Bring your business card to exchange information when necessary.

     b. Ask about ventures they’re working on.

         However, if someone is not interested don’t keep the conversation going.

     c. Never bombard someone with a business proposal, especially when they are out to dinner.
         Learn to read the room and body language.

 

7. When it comes to dining, what are some social etiquette tips you recommend?

     a. Always stay for the main course!

         If you cannot stay, let the host know so they can alter any arrangements immediately.

     b. If you are just going to be attending for cocktails, do let the host know.

     c. During the main course:

     i. If there is an emergency, kindly excuse yourself and go to a secluded area.

     ii. Do not text and keep your phone face down on the table or in your purse or pocket.

     iii. Remain engaged in what is being discussed and be cordial with your fellow guests.

 

8. People are still becoming more comfortable in these settings as COVID is dying down. How can we respect our fellow guests during this time?

     a. Be mindful of other people’s space even though COVID appears to be ending.

         Some people might be anxious about it.

     b. If you are feeling any kind of ill, do not attend the event.

     c. Be respectful of other’s health and requests.

 

9. If one is hosting an event, what tips do you recommend?

     a. If you’re posting pictures of friends or promoting an organization,

         make sure they are good pictures of them and ask permission before posting on social media.

     b. Tag the charity if you are hosting the event for them.

     c. Send out invites as early as possible.

     i. For private parties, send out the invites later and be careful on how these circulate

    d. If you hire a photographer, give him/her credit on social media!

 

10. What are three events you are looking forward to this summer?

     a. Southampton Animal Shelter “Unconditional Love” Gala

     b. Southampton Hospital Kickoff

     c. God’s Love We Deliver “Midsummer Night Drinks”

  • Learning About Baby Animals with the Wildlife Rescue Center

Early one morning last spring, I opened the living room curtains and was surprised (to say the least) to discover a tiny baby deer lying on the concrete driveway between my car and a retaining wall. I called the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in Hampton Bays, thinking someone would need to rescue the baby. @wildliferescuecenter

  • Pure Action With Zero Doubt

A way to approach life as well as art.  At least that’s how abstract artist Edward Lentsch, whose works are in hundreds of public and private collections worldwide, including those of William Shatner and Kelly Ripa, chooses to navigate his journey.  He has worked with iconic designers Holly Hunt, Loree Rodkin, Faye Resnick, Terence Disdale, and “Forbes Designated Architect to the Stars,” Ardie Tavangarian and if you thought you saw his art featured in the Grammy Award Winning music video by Enrique Iglesias, “I Like It,” you would be right.  Lentsch is represented exclusively in the Hamptons by The White Room Gallery and is featured in their current exhibit YIN YANG. YIN being figurative.  YANG abstract. @whiteroomgallerybh
