Who's who from the worlds of business, media, entertainment, government, and the arts gathered at Cipriani's 42nd Street for one of the most significant social and service-oriented events of the year. In the 23rd year of the Power Lunch for Women, Gael Greene and the James Beard's organization continued to call upon some of the most influential figures and high-profile female executives in New York City to raise awareness and money for the city's aging residents. On Friday, November 20th, CityMeals on Wheels raised enough money to provide over 200,000 meals for New York 's frail homebound aged. Since 1981, Citymeals-on-Wheels has provided nutritious food and regular companionship to elderly homebound New Yorkers. While the by-invitation-only "power women" pay $350 per ticket, male guests pay $10,000 to attend the women's lunch and support Citymeals-on-Wheels. Honors were bestowed to Joan H. Tisch, Vice Chair, Citymeals-on-Wheels and Joan Weill, Citymeals' President Emeritus. Emceed by Paula Zahn, the luncheon had in attendance notables in the entertainment field including, Broadway League president Charlotte St. Martin, singer Michael Bolton, actress Phyllis Newman, Kathleen Turner, Tyne Daly, singer, actress, and television personality Kathie Lee Gifford, award-winning actress Jane Krakowski, American opera singer Jessye Norman, ABC news magazine 20/20’s Deborah Roberts, Gloria Steinem, "Good Morning America" anchor Diane Sawyer. "Finian's Rainbow" star Kate Baldwin, provided entertainment for the event. CityMeals-on-Wheels delivers up to two million meals and, because of restructuring in the state, they are the only ones who provide meals on holidays and weekends. They refuse to tell a 90-year old woman she only gets five meals a week. As they continues in that conviction, the Power Lunch's annual guests keep coming back—and keep lunching and giving so others may eat.
