December 3, 2007 — BETTE Midler’s NY Restoration Project will soon bring greenery to the city’s arboreally challenged ZIP codes.
The songstress’ charity is a beneficiary of Sotheby’s sale the other night of four American paintings donated by Bank of America’s Opportunity campaign.

The works, including N.C. Wyeth’s “Port Clyde, Maine,” fetched close to $900,000. The auction benefited the NY Public Library and Police Athletic League as well. BofA marketing czar Anne Finucane joined library prez Paul LeClerc and PAL chair Robert Morgenthau at a preview.
