125 friends and colleagues cheered as Marion was celebrated with song and dance by entertainer Jeanne Lynn Gray and danced with her son Stuart Levin. Proceeds were dedicated to "Sustaining the Mind: Scientific Research and Scholarship", a BNC fund-raising campaign that supports neurodegenerative disease and neuroscience research. Brandeis professors in more than 50 laboratories are working to discover how the brain works, and to find the causes of and cures for diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and A.L.S.
Kudos to Fran Ritter and her committee who arranged a beautiful and memorable afternoon filled with affection and warmth. The room was done in Valentine's Day colors, the centerpieces were magnificent, and the food delicious. Chapter president Carol Benjamin welcomed the guests which included many BNC dignitaries. Current National President Leslie Pearlstein presented her remarks and those of Executive Director Janice Fineman who was ill and unable to attend. Stuart Levin, Marion's son spoke of his family's dedication to philanthropy and especially Marion's dedication to Brandeis. Marion was presented with a memory book containing mementos of her years working with Brandeis National Committee which was lovingly created by Sue Weber and Arlene Ritter. The invocation was delivered by Dena Robbins. Entertainment was provided by Jeanne Lynn Gray, giving Marion an opportunity to dance with her son Stuart, and those in attendance an opportunity to join together in serenade to the tune of New York, New York . All in all, a wonderful event!
