DINNER UNDER THE STARS

27TH ANNUAL DINNER UNDER THE STARS

Join us Tuesday, September 19th, 2023 from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM for our 27th annual Dinner Under the Stars. Enjoy cocktails in the National Arboretum’s Ellipse Meadow and a tented dinner in view of the Capitol Columns. Spend a wonderful fall evening with colleagues, business leaders, and government representatives. The Dinner is a fantastic way to mix and mingle — senior staff and officials from Capitol Hill and the Administration will be invited, however attendance cannot be guaranteed.

By attending the Dinner, you support FONA’s work supporting and promoting the National Arboretum. As its primary 501(c)(3) nonprofit partner, we complement the National Arboretum’s work by ensuring its research and gardens are a resource for DC residents and tourists from around the world. We also invite visitors of all ages to form deep and mindful relationships with nature through education programs, recreation programs, and events.

This event is co-hosted by Chandler Goule, CEO of National Association of Wheat Growers, and Anne MacMillan, Principal of Invariant GR. We greatly appreciate the continued support of Robert and Kate Bartlett and Bartlett Tree Experts for this event.
