AOL Committee members pictured here are holding sample art donations already submitted. Thanks to Jill Paperno (oil paintings), Richard Margolis (photo books), John M. Schmidt (watercolor) and many others who have signed up to participate.  We can still use more!   Easy sign up :  https://www.vlsprochester.org/art-of-lawyering.

It is of course more difficult to “picture” some of the intangible experiences that will also be offered at the October 19 silent auction to be held from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Village Gate, but there will be plenty of experiential items to bid on, too.  An hour of piano playing by MCBA Foundation Board Member John Williams;  dance lessons by Jay Reust, knitting lessons, a month of ballet lessons for a child, a family membership to Writers & Books plus $100 towards classes.  

How about a New York Yankees home game of your choice in the 2018 season… two luxury box tickets donated by W.B. Mason.  Some may argue that isn’t really an artistic experience, but what the heck.  We are pleased to have this donation and you’ll have a chance to bid on it!

An art donation valued at $50 or more earns at least one admission ticket for the October 19^th event which will include delightful food and beverages from Lentos, California Rollin,’ Black Button Distilling, Get Caked and other local favorites. 

Tickets to the event can be secured online for $30 in advance:  https://www.vlsprochester.org/art-of-lawyering or $35 at the door.  Free valet parking will be offered at the Goodman St. entrance so you don’t have to worry about parking!
