Stamford, CT -- The Board of Directors of the Stamford Museum & Nature Center and the Benefit Dinner Committee will host their 2nd Annual Benefit Dinner on Thursday, March 15, 2018, at Woodway Country Club in Darien.
The dinner is an opportunity to gratefully thank supporters, and celebrate the impact their generosity has on the important role the SM&NC plays in our community each year. The evening will feature an update on construction of the first major addition to the SM&NC’s campus in 50 years – the museum’s new Environmental Education Farmhouse.
