RE: Lighthouse Gallery League Gallery Showcase Home ' " I IFS
Dear Mr. Bradford:
The purpose of this letter is to verify our recent telephone discussion
regarding the above referenced matter. As the fund-raising arm of
the Lighthouse Gallery, the Lighthouse Gallery League has put together
their first annual designer showcase home as a major fund-raising
project. Mr. and Mrs. Charles McDonald have graciously donated the
use of their home at One Yacht Club Place for the event . Fifteen
premier Palm Beach County designers have been selected to display
their talents in a combined charitable effort to benefit the Lighthouse
Gallery and School of Art . The designers are expected to utilize
their considerable talents to showcase selected works of art in the
design and furnishing of their respective rooms in the home.
A reception for approximately 200 people will be held at the home
prior to transformation on February 8, 1991. During the following
30 days the designers will transform the home into a show house. A
second reception for the same 200 people will be held on March 8 ,
1991 so they can see the resulting showcase home. The home will
then be open to the public from March 9 through March 30, 1991 . The
charge for admission to the home will be $10 with the proceeds
benefiting the Lighthouse Gallery. Provisions for off-sight parking
are currently being finalized so as to not inconvenience any of the
neighboring homeowners. The League is also securing all necessary
insurance for the event and security arrangements have been made.
I have contacted Robert Hoffmeir, President of the Tequesta Country
Club Community Association, concerning his organizationls support.
He has indicated that he does not have concerns regarding the project
and we have assured him that we will continue to keep them appraised
of its progress.
We would certainly appreciate the support of the Village of Tequesta
in this event since it will benefit the major cultural center of
Tequesta as well as Northern Palm Beach County. We would be more
than happy to attend, if you wish, the January 10 Village Council
Meeting to answer any questions that the Council members may have
concerning this event.
Thank you for your support, we look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Diane M. Godown
Co-Chair
