2009 Annual PADA Dinner
Mon., November 2, 2009

Thank you to all who participated in this year's Annual Dinner on November 2nd honoring Master Drawings Association, Inc. We had 72 attendees at the Lotos Club including many of the Board Directors of Master Drawings Association and a table of curators from the Metropolitan Museum.

The company was convivial and the occasion was grand.

Among our guests were Jane Turner, editor of Master Drawings, William Griswold, president of Master Drawings and director of the Morgan Library & Museum, and Karen Cohen, the former president of Master Drawings. Both Ms. Turner, and Mr. Griswold spoke about the history of Master Drawings as well as its growth under long stewardship of Karen Cohen.

The Private Art Dealers Association has given a grant to a worthy arts organization for the past sixteen years. It is the member participation in the Annual Dinner that makes this yearly event so successful. Thank you again for making this happen. Special thanks must go to the PADA Board of Directors for the core support that has sustained this event for so many years.
