(PALM BEACH, Fla) The Hanley Center Foundation’s new Author and Artist Series wrapped up its inaugural season with an afternoon tea and book signing recently at Club Colette in Palm Beach. The event honored local resident and author of Palm Beach Entertaining, Annie Falk, and three of its contributors. Presented in cooperation with the Palm Beach office of U.S. Bank Private Client Reserve, the Author and Artist Series event featured a panel discussion about the making of the book, spotlighting the author and contributors’ own favorite entertaining tips. An audience of 90 friends and Hanley supporters asked questions and left with a personalized book copy.
“We were thrilled for this distinguished panel to wrap up Hanley’s Author and Artist Series in our first season,” said Dr. Rachel Docekal, CEO for the Hanley Center Foundation. “Throughout the season we have had the privilege of recognizing local authors and artists of interest to our community in a series of private special events. Our recent book signing tea was the perfect finale to a fun first season, and we are grateful to Heidi Steiger and Gwen Boykin from U.S. Bank for their great partnership in presenting this event.”
At the tea, Palm Beach Entertaining contributors Victoria Amory, Aime Dunstan and Daphne Nikolopoulos joined Falk and were moderated by Palm Beach Illustrated associate editor, Mary Murray. Billed as an insider’s guide to entertaining, Palm Beach Entertaining is packed with recipes and tips from America’s most accomplished society hosts.
