Jean Shafiroff along with husband Martin hosted The French Heritage Society’ Pre Summer Solstice Cocktail kickoff event to a room full of 100 guests.
The philanthropic couple welcomed us into their home to learn more about the work the Society does throughout the year, and to raise awareness of the forthcoming Gala, taking place on November 18th.
Fierce and fabulous in a short blue elegant ensemble, Jean said; “I wore this recently, it’s chic to repeat.”
LOVE IT.
The glamorous trio of FHS Chairman of the Board, Elizabeth F. Stribling, and Gala Chairs Jean Shafiroff and Cece Black, thanked guests for attending and gave a short talk explaining how projects are selected from raising funds for preservation and education, to “fostering a great friendship between the French and American people.”
Additional Gala Chairs for the November event in attendance included; Deborah Royce, Ann Vann Ness, Ursula Lowerre, Kazie Metzger and Jean Doyen de Montaillou.
Also there: Catherine Cahill, Lauren and Sean Carpenter, David Aaron Carpenter, Chele Chiavacci, Martin Cohen, Sharleen Cooper Cohen, Nancy Collins, Susan Cushing, Patricia Cossutta, Lynette Dallas, Alex Donner, Carol and John French, Chiu-Ti Jansen, Rolf Heitmeyer, Michael Kovner, Nicole Noonan and Steven Knobel, Ted Hartley, John Harvey, Peter Hoffman, Margo Langenberg, Liz McDermott, Suzanne Murphy, Marilyn Nelson, Barbara Ostrom, Robert Pearl, Michelle King Robson, Chuck Royce, Cole Rumbough, Jill Sands, Daisy and James Sinclair, Karen and Clay Tompkins, Isabelle Lefebvre-Vary, and Barry Weintraub.
