I previewed this briefly in January, but we now have more details on the big American Jewish Congress fete for Hillary Clinton coming up next month.
The 2014 Stephen S. Wise Dinner honoring the former secretary of state for lifetime achievement takes place at Cipriani in midtown on March 19, with special guest Julianna Margulies of “The Good Wife.”
In receiving the prize at the event, hosted by longtime Clinton friend Jack Rosen, the former secretary of state joins a roster of legendary figures including Golda Meir, David Ben Gurion, Harry S Truman, Robert F. Kennedy, and even Robert F. Wagner.
Clinton, of course, has yet to make her intentions known about a 2016 run for the White House, but the high-decibel buzz continues and the national
draft movement churns on.
A bio outlining Clinton’s achievements as first lady, senator, presidential candidate and secretary concludes with this:
“She pushed the frontiers of human rights and demonstrated that giving women the opportunity to participate fully is vital to security, stability, and prosperity.”
According to the invite, a VIP table for 10, including access to a private reception, a “Platinum” page in the event’s journal, and “preferred seating,” goes for $25,000; a ten-person table with entree to the VIP session is $10,000; two VIP seats plus reception costs $5,000; and a regular ticket costs $1,000. “Young Leadership” seats for those 40 and under run $360 each.
