Renaissance Ball committee members joined Ball Chairs Gretchen Bylow, Judith Wertheimer and Advisory Chair Irene Zelinsky at the first full-committee meeting for Serengeti Sunset, the 25th Annual Renaissance Ball. Hosted by Tiffany Burnette at her beautiful home, Gretchen, Judith and Irene updated the committee members on the exciting progress made so far. With the gala just a few months away, plans are coming together smoothly and committee members eagerly signed up to lend a hand.

The Renaissance Ball will take place on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at the Century Country Club in Purchase, NY. Deborah and Charles Royce will be honored for their many years of dedication and commitment to the Bruce. Entertainment will be provided by Starlight Orchestra and George McNeely of Christie's will lead the live auction. A few highlights of the auction will be a fun-filled trip to London, fabulous jewelry, plus a few surprises.

Committee chairs are: Linda Ruderman (Décor committee), Alyssa Keleshian Bonomo and Tamara Holliday (Hostess Committee), Aundrea Amine (Live Auction Committee), Tiffany Burnette (Patron Committee) and Juan Meyer and Terry Rogers Matthews (Patron Wine Auction Committee).

The Renaissance Ball is the Bruce Museum's major benefit and most successful fundraising event, raising nearly 20% of the Museum's annual operating budget. If you are interested in attending the Ball, please contact Jen Bernstein at jbernstein@brucemuseum.org.
