On May 27, David and Jane Smith hosted 170 guests for Kennedy Krieger Institute’s annual Spring Reception. Guests were treated to hors d’oeuvres, flowers, music and the beautiful gardens of the Smiths’ Baltimore County home, Cunningham Manor.
The Crystal Strings chamber ensemble provided a backdrop as guests mingled and strolled among the 20 acres of gardens inspired by England’s Hampton Court. Design By Nature floral studio created arrangements of roses, hydrangeas and hibiscus that dotted the setting. Nibbles included cascading displays of fresh summer fruits, whipped cream and flutes of champagne, along with beef tenderloin, crab cakes and shrimp, all prepared by Watson Caterers.
A brief presentation by the Kennedy Krieger leadership recognized the support of several attendees, including Art and Pat Modell, Stephanie Cooper Greenberg, Judi Fader, Laurie Luskin, Brenda Jews and Jill Miller. As guests departed, each was presented with a potted orchid as a gift from the hosts.
