“One can not think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” – Virginia Wolfe

And dine well we did. The Young Women’s League of New Canaan hosted the 1st Annual Dinner Downtown on Sunday, September 15th. This sell out (in less than one week) event had been a wish of past and present YWL Presidents and Tucker Murphy and Laura Budd of the New Canaan Chamber of Commerce. Working collaboratively with some of New Canaan’s finest restaurants, we were able to provide guests with a delicious family style meal under the stars on Forest Street. Perfect September weather provided a beautiful backdrop for what we hope will become one of New Canaan’s most favored traditions. 

Thanks to strong sponsor and community support, we were able to raise more than $25,000 from Dinner Downtown in support of this year’s giving theme: Today’s Kids, Tomorrow’s Future.
