“In planning Dimensions in Dining, we
hoped the vast array of dinners would give museum
friends opportunities to spend fascinating evenings
with prestigious leaders in many fields of
interest,” said event chairs Lewanda, Levy and
Munger. “Our hosts each provided exquisite and
welcoming homes, and the special guests gave people
a glimpse into their worlds -- their challenges,
their accomplishments, their exasperations and their
commitments to their areas of expertise. Each
evening provided a special opportunity to discuss
current trends with those at the pinnacle of their
professions. But ultimately, each evening supported
the Bruce Museum, which is a treasure for the entire
metropolitan region,” the chairs said.
“Dimensions in Dining was a
resounding success in its inaugural year, thanks to
all the efforts of our volunteer leadership, the
generosity and gracious elegance of our hosts, and
stimulating presence of our renowned guests,” said
Peter C. Sutton, Bruce Museum Executive Director.
“The dinners were sumptuous, the parties
companionable and the conversation sparkling - one
couldn’t ask for a better outcome! Truly a triumph.”
Dimensions in Dining
was a fabulously successful event. Proceeds will
support
the Bruce Museum’s initiatives in student education
as well as world-class art and science exhibitions.
