On the menu: Lively discussion
At Tables of Content, the April 5 fundraiser for the Friends of the SMU Libraries, guests enjoyed dinner and discussions on topics ranging from books, art and music to history, education and community issues.
Guest hosts included David Dike, owner of David Dike Fine Art Gallery; Tom Dunning, civic leader; Victor Marshall, voice of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra; Robert Haley, epidemiologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center; Nicola Longford, executive director of the Sixth Floor Museum, and Jerrie Marcus Smith and Allison Smith, daughter and granddaughter of Stanley Marcus. Also hosting from SMU were Paul Ludden, provost, and Melissa Dowling, associate professor of history. George Tobolowsky, a Libraries Executive Board member, and his wife, Julie, served as honorary chairs.
“The table hosts really make the evening,” says Toni Terry, Friends president. “We’re fortunate that these interesting people share their knowledge and help us give back to the libraries.”
Tables of Content proceeds support scholarships and grants for SMU libraries.
