Spirit Of Love 2013 Highlights


In 2013, our theme, "Timeless", focused on the unique ability that Laura had to not only achieve worldwide acclaim, but also to retain a down-to-earth approach to her personal life, touching people both professionally and personally; not just a musical diva, but also a great person to get to know.

Also this year, we celebrated the release of the first of Laura's studio albums to be re-issued in extended versions, with Other Half Entertainment working in collaboration with Warner Music Groupand Gold Legion: Self Control-Expanded Edition. During our Friday evening beach ceremony, we took some time to reflect on how Laura's life and music inspired us, strolling on a beach that Laura visited, called to mind unique memories of Laura during our Saturday evening candlelight ceremony, while our "fan forum" presented Tommy Bayiokos and Kathy Golik sharing about how our unique memories of Laura can help inspire others to not only enjoy her music, but to share in her timeless legacy.

For our Sunday outing this year, we stopped off at the new Hampton Coffee Company's Southampton "Coffee Experience" store on our way to Montauk Point Lighthouse, then a brief stop at Duck Walk Vineyards in Southampton on our way through East Quogue (with a drive by Laura's home), finishing up in Westhampton Beach with our traditional stops at Westhampton T-Shirts and Beach Bakery along with a stroll down Westhampton Beach's main street.


     The group photos taken on the beach and at the hotel on August 16 and 17, respectively.

Participants also received a commemorative Spirit Of Love messenger bag.


Our program this year included a special annual message from Tommy Bayiokos, Laura's percussionist and special friend, as well as thoughts from Kathy and Vince, and the schedule of activities that took place during this year's event.
