REU NIGHTED at Hôtel Swexan T akeaway: The buzzy new Hôtel Swexan offered a posh setting for the beloved annual ReuNight, allowing guests to flow seamlessly between two ballrooms. The first ballroom hosted a cocktail reception and silent auction of treasured items and experiences donated by Kent Rathbun, Stanley Korshak and deBoulle, among others. Event designer Steve Kemble transformed the second ballroom into a starry night with more than 3,000 candles and navy-blue velvet linens, where the sumptuous dinner was served, created by executive chef James Ash and paired with Stoller Family Estate wines. High Point: After thanking co-chairs Kristin and James Hallam, Annie and Erik Miller and honorary chairs Bunny and Harold Ginsburg, The Family Place's interim CEO, Tiffany Tate-McDaniel recognized her friend and mentor Paige Flink, the nonprofit's longtime former CEO and the powerhouse behind Partners Card. "Tonight, The Family Place has 43 women, 66 children, four men, three dogs, and two cats in our care between our three shelters," Tate-McDaniel said. "That is 118 souls we are responsible for tonight. We want to provide each one with the tools they need to build a future free from violence."
