Luke and Michele Herger met when Michele returned to her college town of Southampton, and moved in next door to Luke. After years of dating Luke proposed marriage at The Temple of Love at Old Westbury Gardens, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The couple were married at a private venue on the ocean in their home town of Southampton. Luke and Michele now live on the South Fork, with their Silky Terrier, Sebastian.

Luke has worked his entire professional career for John Herger Builders of Southampton. John Herger, Luke’s father has been building homes on the East End for over 35 years. Michele is a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with Nest Seekers International in Southampton.

Giving back to the community has been a passion of Michele’s since a young age. With her families commitment to several deserving non-profit organizations, and her involvement as a Girl Scout from

Kindergarten to Senior Year of High School. Michele achieved the top honor awarded by the Girls Scouts of America for her dedication to volunteerism and community service. In January 2012, Michele was named Mrs. Suffolk County NY America.

“It is truly an honor, and I am elated to have been named Mrs. Suffolk County! It is with great pleasure and great pride that I represent the married women of Suffolk County in the prestigious Mrs. New York America Pageant in October of 2012!” Says Michele. The Mrs. New York America Pageant is preliminary to the Mrs. America and Mrs. World Pageants. The Mrs. America and Mrs. World Pageants are the longest running and most prestigious Mrs. Pageant System in all of pageant history.

As Mrs. Suffolk County NY America, Michele promotes the Mrs. America Organization, celebrating marriage, and family while encouraging others to follow their dreams and promoting community

involvement along with volunteerism. Michele is a long time volunteer with the American Cancer Society. She participates in several of their programs, Bark for Life, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, and the Choose You! Movement. Michele will not only be participating in the ACS’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk Eastern Long Island, she has accepted an invitation to form a team and to become a team leader. Michele would like to encourage others to join Team Mrs. Suffolk County and walk beside her on Sunday, October 14 at Dowling College - Brookhaven Campus.

Michele is thrilled to have been promoted from a Volunteer with the American Cancer Society, The Official Sponsor of Birthdays, to a Spokesmodel for the ACS’s Choose You! Movement. Choose You! is a movement created by the American Cancer Society that encourages women to put their own health first in the fight against cancer. The movement challenges women to make healthier choices, and supports

them in their commitment to eat right, get active, quit smoking and get regular health checks. The Choose You Movement shines a light on a hidden issue: that while one-in-three American women will get cancer in her lifetime, about 50 percent of cancer deaths could be prevented if more emphasis were placed on early detection and healthier lifestyles including maintaining a healthy weight through diet, exercise and avoiding tobacco. To learn more please visit www.chooseyou.com.

Michele is also serving as Honorary Chair for the 6th Annual Long Island VisionWalk, to support The Foundation Fighting Blindness.

Michele is the Team Leader for Team Mrs. Suffolk County! The walk is taking place on Saturday, October 13 at Jones Beach State Park.

By Annemarie This summer is in full swing and there have been so many events and fundraisers that help to raise money and awareness for great causes.

Last Chance Animal Rescue hosted its 4th annual “Martinis for Mutts” fundraiser at the Water Mill Estate of Michael & Marcy Warren on July 14. There were many people there who brought their dogs and the event honored Wendy Diamond and Dina Manzo.

There were both live and silent auctions and of course cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. For more information on the Last Chance Animal Rescue, please visit www.lcarf.org.

Another great event was the “Diamond in the Rough” Annual Gala at the Montauk Playhouse which raises funds for the continuing construction of various phases for the playhouse. This year guests got to experience a walk-through of the area that will be the aquatic center within the playhouse which the community can benefit from. This year the honorary Co-Chairs were Aida Turturro and Jerry O’Connell. The Master of Ceremonies was Charlie O’Connell. Guests enjoyed cocktails and music followed by dinner and a live auction which received some phenomenal bidding wars that may have topped any other year yet! The honorees were Cindi and Dave Ceva, Marlena and Sam Gershowitz and Ron and Joan Hildreth. To keep up with what’s happening at the playhouse, visit www.montaukplayhouse.org.

When attending so many events, you want to make sure you look your best especially for photo ops. I had the opportunity to try spray tanning for the first time from the Endz Salon in Montauk.

Davin

Owner Rose Schwehr was so gracious and made the experience a wonderful one. I could see the difference right away and it was an instant tan with no orange look. I looked as if I had been in the sun and my skin had that sun kissed glow. I would highly recommend trying this if you have never done so! You can make an appointment for your spray tan or any other services at the Endz Salon by calling 631-6685880.

Events can be redundant if you don’t have something different at them to make them more fun and entertaining. One idea to pep up a festive Hamptons party is a candy bar! Everyone loves candy and has a favorite one so if you’re throwing a birthday party, you could surprise everyone with this sweet idea. If you’re throwing a fundraiser or gala, a candy buffet is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face, as they fill their party bags with all types of treats and favors! If you don’t know where to go for this, I have the company for you. Log on to www.justsweetscandy.com or call 631-327-8886 and tell Jennifer Tripodi you read about it here first!

The Montauk Beach House had its ribbon cutting ceremony on June 28 and has been in full swing ever since.

Owners Chris Jones and Larry Siedlick were on hand with East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson as he cut the ribbon while everyone cheered them on. Pictures of the Montauk Beach House event are on my website at www.famehampton.com and you can log on to their website at www.thembh.com or you can call 631-668-2112.

The summers in the Hamptons will always have amazing events but there are many that continue year round. Besides being the owner of FameHampton, I am also the Director of Special Events and Promotions at the Independent Newspaper. If you are looking for packages on marketing and advertising your event or promotion, or need an idea for one, I hope you see me first so I can see if there is a way we can put something spectacular together for you, and help you reach your goal! You can contact me at Annemarie@famehampton. com and I look forward to hearing from everyone soon!

MUSIC

DJ Cred

By Tamara Hayes

What do you do when party go-ers have a request. Follow up: What if they write it on a $100 bill?

If a request is just a request I always try to consider it, sometimes people have good suggestions. However, a lot of the time the request is more of a demand and I have a zero tolerance policy for demands.

I also have a policy of accepting $100 bills, so go ahead and try me.

What’s your signature style when it comes to entertaining the crowd?

I tend to mix the old with the new and I always trust my ear more than I trust the charts. I always take the warm up set seriously, because during the peak times there are some things that you are expected to play, but for the first hour or so there is a real opportunity to be creative and put your tastes on showcase. As far as my tastes are concerned, whatever style the music is in, its got to have soul.

What do you think we'll see more of or less of in music this year?

I think we will continue to see radio and tv force the same boring bubblegum pop down our throats. I believe that it will become increasingly important for the DJs to seek out great music and give the people more options. As the technology to create and share music continues to becomes more available to people, we are going to see some of the best music come from peoples bedrooms instead of from the big studios.

When Did DJing peak your interest?

When I was growing up my best friends' family owned three record stores. I spent a lot of time there and I knew at a very young age that I wanted to be involved with music. Only, back then I thought I would be a rock star. It was when I started working in the nightclubs and guys like Funkmaster Flex and Biz Markee were the DJs; I saw and heard what they could do with these records and that was when I knew that I wanted to do the same.

Most memorable gig?

That's a tough one. A lot of these parties have been memorable, like the time I played for 2000 international students in 80's costumes in Philadelphia. There were Japanese girls dressed like Madonna and Indian guys dressed like Andre Aggasi, it was super weird and really fun. Another time I played a Brazilian wedding. There was an indoor pool at the mansion and the bride dove in and broke her nose on the wall of the pool. I'll never forget that night.

Top 5 most played songs on your ipod?

When most people want to relax they put their headphones on. When I want to relax, I take them off. I don't own an iPod. Where can we find you when you're not behind the wheels of steel?

Cracking Jokes on Twitter look for me @DJCRED

Serato or Tracktor? CDJs or Technics?

In the beginning it was my records and the Technics 1200's and I switched to Serato a few years ago. It sure beats lugging those crates around.

Eastern Phoebes Eastern Phoebes is the homerecording project of multiinstrumentalist/songwriter/ sound explorer Ry Smith and holistic health guru/yogi extraordinaire Meg Bayley. The pair records and releases homemade EPs and albums. www.easternphoebes.com.

Complete the following: Every time I'm in the Hamptons, I have to___: Get a copy of Hampton Daze Magazine and see what's good!

Best Hamptons Nightclub past or present?

Having worked at The Star Room for six years, I'd have to say that its my favorite for all time. I walked through there recently and it looks like Grey Gardens. It’s sad but I wouldn't trade the summers we shared there for anything.
