New lunchtime speaker series at the Club: on the first Wednesday of the month at 12:30 p.m. we’re offering a talk for no more than twenty-five minutes (think TED Talk). The speaker will then join us at a collective lunch table for follow-up / Q&A. If desired, you can resume your day after an hour.
For this inaugural event we are pleased to have Nora Atkinson, Curator of the Renwick Gallery as our guest speaker. The Renwick Gallery current exhibit includes the sculpture in front of the club (opposite side on I Street) next to the Monroe Park. Guests will have the opportunity to go inside the sculpture during the event.
