Arts for the Aging hosted its annual fall gala at Society of the Cincinnati at Anderson House on October 22 with a reception, arts performance by Verge Ensemble, and toasts honoring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In an evening emceed by artist Bill Dunlap, the 6th Lolo Sarnoff Award — so named after our nonagenarian founder — was presented to the Supreme Court Justice by longtime friends Bill and Dorothy McSweeny, and patrons gave a touching interactive tribute led by AFTA teaching artist Miles Spicer with members of Downtown Clusters Geriatric Day Care Center, inviting everyone in a serenade of the pop standard, “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter”. Justice Ginsburg cited AFTA’s founder for her “love of music and art, and caring about the right things” — a moving sentiment for the occasion, Celebrating Lifelong Creativity.
