The West Palm Library Foundation’s Food For Thought Gala is our premier annual gathering and fundraiser. Food For Thought is an elegant dinner party featuring local luminaries and stimulating conversation in the beautiful Norton Museum of Art. Guests can select a table host from various notable personalities (including local authors, foodies, historians, artists, physicians, media and community leaders) and enjoy an intimate dinner and lively discussion with these local experts about their professional fields.
Proceeds benefit the free quality programs, services and resources at the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach.
