The Foundation started an annual tradition on Tuesday, December 9, inviting donors who have contributed $1,000 or more in the past year to a special party, including recent art grantees and social workers involved with the cancer grants. Thanks to AOC Fine Wines and catering by the chef and staff at Saffron 59.
The highlight of the evening included a special preview of paintings from Poland, Hungary and Romania, acquired recently by Susan and Michael Hort. For information on these works from Eastern Europe or to join the 153 Hudson Club, please contact Quang Bao at rhmfoundation@gmail.com or 212-966-8444.
