Many, many thanks to our featured authors Madeline Miller and Rebecca Kuang, who together created such energizing and inspirational conversation around Ms. Miller’s bestselling book, Circe.
Many thanks to our talented and dedicated volunteer co-chairs: Maria Magliacano, Sarah O’Keefe, Laura Prior, Abigail Skidmore, and Design Lead Michael Canoro of Eastman-Interiors, as well as all the committee members who created such a spectacular and thoughtful event.
A big thank you to Julia Ballentine Fine Jewelry for donating beautiful cuff bracelets for the drawing. We also thank the many generous contributions toward our auction and event décor.
