  • Wreath of the Day – Gratitude to The Lenox Hotel

    For years our Club has been active with The Friends of Copley Square, and one of our premier decorators, Rita Christensen, has worked on that Board of Directors with Dan Donahue, General Manager of The Lenox Hotel. She and Luz Anthony have created lovely wreaths for Dan personally, as well as contributing mightily to the decoration of the Square. The Lenox has been a stalwart supporter of The Garden Club of the Back Bay for many years, and while this wasn’t the first time they have sent treats to our volunteers during Wreath Week, all agreed this was the most elaborate set up ever. Of course the prosecco didn’t flow until the end of the work day. We wanted to be sure the wreath bows went on straight! Thank you Dan, thank you Lenox for your fiscal and tangible contributions, and happy holidays to all. Below is one of his wreaths along with a shot of volunteers enjoying the spread.

  • Wreath of the Day – Lenox Hotel Lunch Treat

    Every day we feed our troops, for strength, energy, and to make sure they don’t leave too early! This year our friend Dan Donahue, General Manager of The Lenox Hotel, Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro, and the Saunders Hotel Group, sent over lunch during the Monday rain/ice/snow event, which was greatly appreciated. He is also a customer. Below is one of a trio of wreaths made for his home in the suburbs, and our only complaint is we can’t see it walking around the neighborhood. Thank you again, and be sure to have holiday lunch at the Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro if you are shopping in Beacon Hill this December and tell them the Garden Club of the Back Bay sent you.
