HAVE A SEAT RETURNS – THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2007!

Due to its popularity and success of the past two years, Marygrove College will again host Have A Seat…and More! Chair Auction and Strolling Dinner on Thursday, November 8, 2007. The occasion commemorates the founding of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1845, as well as the founding of Marygrove in 1927, which they continue to sponsor.

Internationally renowned artist and designer Dominic Pangborn and his wife Delia have graciously agreed to serve as Honorary Co-Chairs for this year’s event. Mr. Pangborn will also donate original works of art for the auction.

This exciting fundraiser will feature the work of local and national artists who have transformed vintage Marygrove chairs and other items into collectible works of art. Artists include Charles McGee, Gilda Snowden, Nora Chapa Mendoza, Shirley Woodson, and many more. Auction items will include such non-chair items as paintings, sculptures, gift certificates and other non-art related items.

If you are interested in sponsoring the event, donating an item or gift certificate from your place of business or attending the event, please contact Maureen Leonard at mleonard@marygrove.edu or 313-927-1308.  Your support will help Marygrove College turn today’s students into tomorrow’s urban leaders.
