And Fine Dining
I've been to the Metropolitan club, the Cosmos Club, the University Club and the City Club. None of them can rank to the patio garden at Holy Trinity (www.Trinity.org) during coctail hour before the DeChantal white tablecloth dinners that Eve Marie and her crew throw down in Georgetown. It's a quintessential Washington experience you have to do just to say you were there. The crowd is mature, intellectually refreshing and experienced in many fields- and you don't have to be catholic. Let me repeat that- it is a crowd as diverse as DC- most welcome are all religions, especially Jewish ones. The DeChantal group hosts annually an event at the Ratner Museum in Bethesda and has a number of Jewish fans.
This Saturday, George Weigel who wrote JPII's autobiography 'Witness to Hope' (which has been translated into bazillions of languages-and available for purchase in paperback at the CIC)
will come talk about his experiences living and working in Poland while he was researching the Pope's life. Fascinating- especially now as there is a vitally active cause for JPII's canonization.
At this point if you have not signed up yet officially you can show up at the door (and pay $40.)
The money goes toward really worthwhile things like a fund to help homeless in DC and a program to send them on bucolic retreats. Yours truly will be there as a Sous-Chef in training for her audition for the Food Channel (in her dreams.) If you need more information call Holy Trinity and ask Sister Ann for a recommendation- she loves coming- (she favors the wine receptions there to the water/coffee ones in dryer places.) Hope I don't have to go to confession for that one:-)
See you Saturday. I am the one with the apron on schlepping perroggis from the kitchen.
