The celebratory dinner was hosted by the Friends of Nathaniel Witherell at Greenwich Country Club on June 23.
Ormsby stepped down from Witherell's board this past January, after being on the board since 2004 and served as its chairman for the last 10 years. Among his accomplishments, Ormsby helped raise millions of dollars to modernize and refurbish The Nathaniel Witherell as co-chair of Witherell's Project Renew.
Ormsby continues to serve as chairman of the Friends of Nathaniel Witherell Board, which he helped establish in 2006.
"David Ormsby's dedication to The Nathaniel Witherell is legendary and will be long remembered by the people of Greenwich," said Karen Sadik-Khan, president of the Friends of the Nathaniel Witherell. "The Friends Board, the Witherell Board and the Town of Greenwich all thank David for his role in keeping The Nathaniel Witherell a part of our lives."
Sadik-Khan also announced that in honor of Ormsby's accomplishments, the Witherell's Resident Life Fund will be officially renamed the David G. Ormsby Resident Life Fund, which will continue to provide programs and services to enrich the lives of all Witherell residents.
Fittingly, proceeds from the dinner will also support that fund. Among the many items the fund supports are annual events and parties such as the July Fourth and New Year's Eve celebrations, weekly live performances by local musicians, music therapy programs for Alzheimer's and dementia residents, and painting and art history classes.
