MEMBERS AND DONORSGetting to know you![]() Eleanora ThomasHome base: Mount Lebanon Unusual Trips: Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Egypt The Travel Bug: I think it was seeing the Hall of Architecture as a child that really gave me the itch to see all of these places. Armchair Trips: I rarely miss the [Carnegie Museums] Travel Films. If I miss one, it’s because I’m out of town. I enjoy the films of the places that I’ve visited, and I like seeing places that I might like to visit. The Mysteries of Egypt film at the Omnimax Theater is also fabulous.
Donor Trip*: Venice and the Veneto, March 9-18, 2000March is a marvelous time to visit Venice: no “masses” of tourists and fewer pigeons. Peter Lauritzen, an authority on the history and culture of Venice and the Veneto, will lead the group. Lodgings will be at the renovated Hotel Luna, located behind the Piazza San Marco and in operation since 1474. There will be one-day trips out of Venice to visit Palladian villas and to see work by other artists. On these days, lunches will be at villas by invitation of their owners and at the famous Villa Cipriani in Asolo. For more information and an itinerary, call Elizabeth Smith, (412) 622-5774.* Individuals who contribute $300 or more are eligible to participate
in the Donor Travel Program.
