My friend, Karen Zukowski, sent me this missive about a not-to-be-missed benefit for DDDB.  Fun Fact: her book, Creating the Artful Home: The Aesthetic Movement, is the party favor. Unfortunately it’s at the same time as the First Blogade Roadshow at Vox Pop. Hmmmm.

Don’t miss Develop Don’t Destroy
Brooklyn’s benefit on June 24.   It is being held on June 24, 3-6 pm at
the home of Clem Labine, a famous Brooklyn brownstoner.  This benefit
is being called the "It’s not a Done Deal" benefit, because the legal
case DDB to making against Forest City Ratner Companies may prove that
the Atlantic Yards megaproject is NOT a done deal.   The afternoon’s
events including hanging out in Clem’s house and garden, meeting
preservation pioneers like Everett Ortner and current preservationists
hard at work with DDDB, and meeting Karen Zukowski, who wrote Creating the Artful Home: The Aesthetic Movement,
which describes Victorian houses.  (The book is a party favor).
Tickets are $60 ($75 at the door). Because it’s a private home, space
is limited and pre-registration is strongly advised.  To attend, call
718-636-819.
