GVSHP (Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation) notified its members about a symposium being sponsored by The Museum of the City of New York to celebrate its new exhibit, Saving Place. A friend and I, fortified by sangria, attended Redefining Preservation for the 21st Century held at the New York Academy of Medicine. The Great and the Good fell over themselves lauding their commitment to preservation and how it will help keep NYC a dynamic, international city. Afterwards, there was a reception at the Museum of the City of New York.
\nWhat a facelift the museum has had, even better than Madonna\u2019s. I remember it when it was fusty. Then it transitioned into a place for school groups. Now, it\u2019s cool NYC. Unless the word cool is too dated to describe it. Here\u2019s the logo. Who would have thought that Twitter blue could be so hot? And the emphasis on the word, city. I mean CITY.<\/p>\n

Donna40! This weekend Judson Memorial Church celebrated the forty year ministry of Donna Schaper. A symposium, cocktails, dancing, dinner and a Sunday sermon were all part of the mix. Donna, like her predecessor, Howard Moody, has the ability to fill the house. Judson is teeming with people of all ages. I wish I could say with people of all colors. We\u2019re still predominantly white. The Donna40! program has a jazzy portrait done by Ward Sutton. Here\u2019s a quote from Donna\u2019s essay, My Five Best Mistakes: A Vision in the City. \u201c\u2026I should have enjoyed conflict so much more that I did. It almost always gave birth to good things!”<\/p>\n
