THE EVENT
A garden party benefit which raised nearly $170,000 to support the preservation of Tudor Place. The home was purchased by Thomas and Martha Parke Custis Peter (granddaughter of Martha Washington) in 1805 and remains one of the best examples of neoclassical architecture in Washington.

THE SCENE
Students from the Levine School of Music and the Levine Faculty Jazz trio (as cool as the mint juleps that were served) provided the evening's soundtrack. Each year, someone who has contributed to Georgetown is honored at the party - this year's honoree was Evelyn Stefansson Nef, who was presented with a painting of the estate by Board of Trustees President Ellen MacNeille Charles.

THE GUESTS
Jane Matz (co-chair), Jeannie Rutherfoord (co-chair), Alan and Nancy Bubes, Tudor Place Executive Director Leslie Buhler and the late Doda deWolf.
