The Legacy Luncheon honoring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor was a supremely successful sell-out. Featured speakers included former White House Florist Laura Dowling and former White House Chef John Moeller. Award-winning Chef Mark Tarbell introduced the speakers and moderated the onstage conversation.

Ms. Dowling's stunning presentation provided the audience an inside glimpse of historic White House china, first ladies' floral preferences as well as the legendary White House Christmas decor and state dinners, among other important events. Chef Moeller shared images of White House cuisine and presidential favorites. Guests received copies of their respective books, Floral Diplomacy and Dining at the White House. Tabletops featured springtime centerpieces inspired by Ms. Dowling, and the menu offered sumptuous courses from Chef Moeller's cookbook.
