A Legacy of Giving: The Lady Leslie and Lord Paul Ridley-Tree Collection
Docent-led tour of the Ridley-Tree collection focusing primarily on nineteenth-century British and French paintings.
We'll view artworks by such luminaries as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Mary Cassatt, Berthe Morisot, Paul Signac, Claude Monet, Childe Hassam, Alfred Sisley, Gustave Caillebotte, Camille Pissarro, Henri Fantin-Latour, Eugène Boudin, and Gustave Courbet.
As we move through another remarkable year of service and fellowship. It’s always inspiring to see the dedication and passion that our club brings to the community, and I’m proud to be a part of this incredible group.
Shelter Box is planning a happy hour for us and is inviting the other local clubs to join in on Tuesday, September 24th, at 5:30 pm. RSVP to me directly if you would like to attend. It should prove to be a beautiful evening at their headquarters (QAD) on Ortega Hill overlooking the Pacific.
As we continue our efforts to make a difference, I want to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the work we’ve done together so far. I look forward to seeing what we will accomplish together in the coming months.
