by

Thinking about sending roses to your sweetheart this year?

Sponsor the planting of a rose in the Kelleher Rose Garden in honor of your Valentine for a gift that will last. With your $75 donation, choose from a selection of roses (Peace and Love shown below) that will be planted in the spring and a card will be mailed with a personalized message to your someone special. This gift not only symbolizes love and beauty, but also the value you place on the maintenance and improvement of the Emerald Necklace.

The Emerald Necklace Conservancy thanks you for your support! Please Note: Locations for plantings are pre-deternined by the Kelleher Rose Garden plan.

Be sure to place your order by February 7th to have a Valentine’s Day card sent to notify your sweetheart of your thoughtful gift. To order, visit https://25749.thankyou4caring.org/lovethatlasts.

Tuesday, February 17, 6:00 pm – The Evolution of the Dinner Party, 1860 – 1954

by

Etiquetteer (Robert B. Dimmick) will speak at the Gibson House Museum on Tuesday, February 17, on The Evolution of the Dinner Party 1860-1954. “Etiquetteer explores how the way Americans entertained at home changed during the time the Gibsons lived at the Gibson House. The Victorian formal dinner party of many courses and ever more obscure accessories gradually gave way with the social upheavals following World War I, including Prohibition. By World War II, writers like Dorothy Draper were gaily recommending buffet dinners with striking color schemes and other novelties.”

Tickets are $10 for Gibson House members, $15 for non-members. Reception at 6:00 PM, program at 6:30 PM. For tickets, please email info@thegibsonhouse.org. Image from www.foryourbigday.files.wordpress.com.
