Ambassador of Switzerland H. E. Manuel Sager and Mrs. Christine Sager hosted the celebration “Cherishing Silver” on Nov. 5 at their residence. Artist Bill Dunlap served as Gala Host Committee Chair. The evening paid tribute to AFTA founder Lolo Sarnoff, the 97-year-old doyenne of the Washington scene, accomplished artist, scientist, entrepreneur, humanitarian and philanthropist. Ambassador Donald T. Bliss received the 5th Annual Sarnoff Award for distinguished philanthropy, community service and engagement in the arts. The program included a performance of works from cabaret, film and stage. Arts for the Aging is Washington’s premier organization for bringing arts engagements to the elderly.
