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.
