THE CHERIE SMITH MEMORIAL LECTURE EVENING

featuring Anne Roiphe
More than money, more than security, more than success, most of us yearn for a ‘good family’. In her talk, renowned columnist, novelist and social commentator, Anne Roiphe will read excerpts from her most recent book, Married: A Fine Predicament as well as 1185 Park Avenue: A Memoir to illustrate her perspectives on the much sought after 'good family'. The author of numerous books, Roiphe lives in New York City and writes a biweekly column for the New York Observer. Her books include The Pursuit of Happiness, Lovingkindness, Fruitful: A Real Mother in the Modern World (short-listed for the National Book Award in 1996) and the literary essays, For Rabbit with Love and Squalor.

Musical entertainment by The Saul Berson Quartet
Saul Berson, saxophonist with Kim Darwin on accordion, Tony Wilson on guitar, and Paul Blaney on bass.
Saul Berson's Quartet creates an eclectic mix of music incorporating Middle-eastern overtones with a pinch of Piazzolla thrown in for good measure! The Quartet's music "…creates an intense set of Arabian rhythms and.…is a delirious mess of tango and klezmer" (Cadence). The music "throbs with vitality" (Coda). Saul Berson's Quartet's 1998 recording, From Here to Beyond, was nominated in the "Best Jazz Album" category for the 1999 West Coast Music Awards.
Refreshments to follow in the Atrium
