Dear Friends,
As an artist and former educator in Darien, I would very much like to attend the “Grassroots Invitational” exhibition Tuesday night at the Mansion, but did not receive an invitation. Would I be permitted to attend? Is a donation in order? Please advise me of your regulations and decision which I will abide by..
Cordially,

Hadassah and I will be there to spread bad cheer, and celebrate my victory over the common masses. At $55 a ticket, I sure won’t have to worry about encountering any of them there! Affordable health care for none!
