Donor Circles Members are cordially invited to attend a special presentation by project coordinator Ilana Chlebowski on the creation of this remarkable work of art. From the commission of the piece to the preparation of the wall, the hiring of a crew of sixteen "scribblers," the project's arduous fifty-four-day work schedule, and the receipt of the final certificate, Chlebowski will share her unique perspective.
