The Board of Trustees and Women’s Committee of Arts for the Aging were
pleased to announce the 23rd Annual Benefit Gala, hosted by Honorary
Gala Chairs, His Excellency Jean-Paul Senninger, the Ambassador of
Luxembourg, and Mrs. Louise Åkerblom.
The Gala was held at the Embassy of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg at 2200
Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., near Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. It was
a black-tie formal affair with an exquisite buffet prepared by the Embassy,
a wonderful array of wines, live and silent auctions and included a
presentation of the 4th Annual Lolo Sarnoff Award for Outstanding Vision and
Creativity to Dr. Dorothy Kosinski, Director of the Phillips Collection.
This year’s Gala Co-Chairs were Dr. Joyce S. Hagel-Silverman and Mrs.
Susanne Eisinger.

dementia or some other age-related cognitive or physical impairment.
We extend a very special
thanks to His Excellency, The Ambassador of Sweden & Mrs. Hafstrom for their fabulous hospitality, our dedicated
