Michael Schimmel, son of Micki Goodman Schimmel and Dr. William Schimmel, celebrated his 30th birthday with a special celebration and art exhibit. The event took place at Nina’s Gallery in New York City, a gallery and restaurant that specializes in Argentine cruisine.

Dr. William Schimmel provided the accordion music for the event which included his famous Tango repertoire and other selections.

The event was organized by Micki Goodman Schimmel with the assistance of Jay Catlett and Katie Fitzsimmons.

This is Michael’s second gallery exhibit, consisting of sixteen water color paintings. All proceeds of the sale of his paintings went to YAI – Young Adult Institute, an advocacy organization for Young Adults with special needs. Michael has Down Syndrome. Many of Michael’s friends and relatives attended the event and the majority of the paintings were sold.

Needless to say, his parents are very proud of him. BRAVO, MICHAEL!
