Annual Dinner Auction

May 22, 2008
This major benefit event, organized by The Hill-Steaders, the museum’s core volunteer group, showcases such outstanding auction items as a week on the Caribbean island of Nevis, three nights at the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island (shown here), or golf on Fishers Island. Spectacular hilltop views from under a tent on Hill-Stead’s West Lawn, a creative martini bar and exceptional dining distinguish this signature event. To learn about sponsorship opportunities or to receive an invitation, contact Marie Dalton-Meyer at 860.677.4787 ext 130 or dalton-meyerm@hillstead.org.
