Party for Keith Lippert

January 30 • F. Scott's

THE EVENT
John Laytham, president of Clyde's Restaurant Group, and his wife Ginger hosted a cocktail reception in support of Keith Lippert, whose Georgetown gallery (a favorite for special gifts and wedding registries) was recently destroyed by fire. The party said volumes about what a wonderful community we live in,"said Lippert, who expects to reopen a remodeled gallery in April. I had an overwhelming "Jimmy Stewart moment" realizing it really is a "Wonderful Life."

THE SCENE
Guests enjoyed hors d' oeuvres and an open bar in what Lippert said felt like, the community wrapping its collective arms around me in a time of need." F. Scott's, part of the Clyde's group, provided a perfect backdrop for a beautiful evening that reinforced what is special about our Washington community.

THE GUEST
Simon Jacobsen, Linda Greenan, Billy Martin and John and Ginger Laytham. Keith thanked Anthony Lanier and Chris Hunsberger from the Four Seasons, who were unable to attend, as well as the Georgetown Business and Professional Association.
