An appetizing brunch and stimulating lecture took place on March 9, 2008, at the studio of this year's featured Fenway Studios Artist, Loretta Cuda

Annually, Friends of Fenway Studios donates this unique auction item to the Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay's Annual Wine Auction (NABB-WA).

Loretta intrigued everyone in studio #101 by enthusiastically providing a captivating and educational talk on the ancient technique of Egg Tempera — a meticulous skill she has passionately mastered.

This year's NABB-WA generous winning bidders, Marie and Dick Oedel, invited the following lucky friends to join them for the exciting, delectable, and artistic afternoon — Ron Segal, Elizabeth and Brian Giroux, Kevin McCobb, Jennifer and Jim Hill, Jackie Blombach and Michael Duca, and Susan Ashbrook and Fritz Casselman.

The delightful event was again organized by Friends of Fenway Studios Founding President, Lynda McNally.
