On March 2nd, A Vintage Affair celebrated its 25th anniversary as a fundraising event in DC benefitting Children’s National Hospital. This event, planned and executed by the volunteer Founders Auxiliary Board on which I serve, was months in the making and culminated in an exquisite evening of wining, dining, and donating.
