Washington Winter Show 2018

7 January 2018 Welcome to the 2018 Washington Winter Show! I look forward to joining you again and being a part of what is one of the top shows in the country in which to find antiques, artifacts, fine art, and other collectibles. We all have our own reasons for collecting. For some it is the value of the piece. For others it may be an emotional connection. As the genealogist for my family, I have spent the better part of the last five years researching my family’s history. It is in that context that I have developed a true love and appreciation for the people who came before me, their stories, their interests, and their prized possessions. Perhaps this weekend you’ll find a piece that brings back memories for you and becomes a treasure you’ll cherish for years to come. Or perhaps you will just enjoy perusing the beautiful displays of gems that have stood the test of time. For those who have attended this show in the past, you know that more than 40 dealers from across the United States and Europe will be on hand selling their exquisite antiques and fine art. In addition to exploring their masterpieces, I encourage you to participate in some of the many activities that have been planned, such as the Friday luncheon featuring noted interior designer Charlotte Moss or the designer panel on Saturday that includes Washington’s Darryl Carter and Manhattan’s Alexa Hampton. PNC has a long history of supporting organizations that work to strengthen and enrich the lives of our most vulnerable citizens. That’s one of the reasons we continue to serve as the presenting sponsor of the Washington Winter Show, which raises funds for three outstanding charities: The Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys, THEARC, and the Founders Board of St. John’s Community Services. Each of these non-profits is making a significant difference in the lives of under served families living in our community, and we wish them well as they continue fulfilling their mission. Congratulations to all who have worked tirelessly in bringing the 2018 Washington Antiques Show to life. Sincerely, Richard K. Bynum President Greater Washington Area Member of The PNC Financial Services Group 800 17th Street NW Washington DC 20006 www.pnc.com Richard K. Bynum President, Greater Washington
