For the eighteenth consecutive year, generous hosts throughout the New Haven area will open their homes on Thursday, February 28, for an eagerly anticipated evening of intimate dinner parties, bringing together distinguished guests and supporters of LEAP (Leadership, Education and Athletics in Partnership, Inc.). The guests of honor at each of the dinners will lead thought-provoking conversations on diverse subjects from memoir to murder, puzzles to poetry, environment to education, and Doris Day to Pete Seeger. Among this year’s guests are award-winning writer and performer Jack Hitt, iconic poet and human rights activist Rose Styron, the internationally influential “nutrition warrior” Kelly Brownell, and celebrated Connecticut television journalist Diane Smith, and many more writers, film-makers, and academics.
