Good Dogs and Fun for All!

The Isabelle R. Martin Society Reception--Last Evening at the Walter V. Davidson House





The frigid temperatures outside were in sharp contrast with the warm hospitality of  Russell Maxwell last evening when he hosted a gathering of Graycliff's Isabelle R. Martin Society at his Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home, the Walter V. Davidson House.

The Isabelle R. Martin Society is a group of individuals who have chosen to leave a legacy to Graycliff through their wills, to ensure Graycliff will continue to flourish, as Maxwell himself says,  "one hundred years from now"  The Society will eventually create an endowment for this purpose.

Boris and Ivan, Maxwell's dogs, were the hit of the evening, thanks to their charm, good looks and wonderful manners.  Guests enjoyed Maxwell's gracious hospitality, as well as a rare opportunity to see a privately-owned Frank Lloyd Wright design.

Ivan and Boris...such good dogs!



If you have remembered Graycliff through your will, and would like to enjoy an evening with like-minded individuals, please call or email to let us know that you'd like to become a member of the Isabelle R. Martin Society
