SOCIAL LIST The 21st annual record of notably social individuals from politics, diplomacy, business, philanthropy and the arts PORTRAITS BY TONY POWELL

Bill and Karen Sonneborn

s much as we loved living in California, it is hard to beat Georgetown — with its warm and welcoming community, rich history, stunning architecture, charming shops and the ability to walk nearly everywhere.Washington is not only at the heart of American politics and global affairs, it also offers unparalleled access to world-class art, cultural and non-profit organizations and is an exceptional place to raise children. We have already experienced many magical moments like watching the Georgetown rowers on the glistening Potomac at dawn, enjoying a long walk through Rock Creek Park with our beloved Labrador and marveling at the breathtaking July 4th fireworks display on the Mall.This wonderful environment inspires residents to be better people, to inquire more, understand more and give more. What rules of etiquette remain meaningful for you today? The “rule” that good manners are really about trying to make the people around you feel respected, comfortable and happy.

Ermias Selassie and Saba Kebede

here is a large Ethiopian expatriate community in the Washington metropolitan area and we are involved in different aspects of their lives, from learning how to maintain our unique traditions to assimilating ourselves as Americans. As relatively recent immigrants here, we are captivated by the city’s rich cultural diversity and ability to provide so many opportunities to those who seek them. Despite its crime, traffic and lack of parking,Washington offers more than it lacks.We are fortunate to live in a livable, family-friendly place that has a suburban atmosphere in many ways while also offering world-class museums, art galleries, universities and increasingly great restaurants — including Ethiopian ones.We both eagerly await the opening of the first vegan Ethiopian restaurant here! What rules of etiquette remain meaningful for you today? I believe in treating others as I would like them to treat me.This incorporates tolerance, reverence and respect. Do you have any pet peeves with regard to bad manners? People who behave in a condescending manner. What are the most common faux pas that you see people make? Asking in the first instance “what do you do”?

Winston and Stephania Lord

ashington’s allure stems from its diversity and wealth of opportunities: catching a concert at the Kennedy Center or Echo Stage, experiencing a world-class meal at Fiola Mare or Toki Underground, shopping to your heart’s content at City Center or Union Market. I am a native Washingtonian; Stephanie is a North Carolinian through and through, but we both feel at home here. We love the “city energy” that we feel from our perch in the Atlas District. We’re steps from great restaurants and nightlife. Stephanie is reminded of Southern hospitality when we exchange greetings with our neighbors each morning. We can’t think of a better town to raise our child — due in March 2016! What has been lost that you miss the most? Eating at the dinner table with no cell phones or electronics of any kind. Just having good old-fashioned conversation. Do you have any pet peeves with regard to bad manners? Working in the hospitality business, I lose respect for anyone who treats any service provider as someone who’s beneath them What are the most common faux pas that you see people make? Social climbing.Too many people are obsessed with dropping names, tracking down event photographers and surveying the room for a “bigger fish” to talk to.

Bill and Ann Nitze

e came to Washington from New York during the Reagan administration when Bill was appointed to the State Department to work with oceans environment and science. His family had been in Washington for decades, so it was an easy move for us. I was able to keep my art gallery in New York and still live in both places. The arts and educational institutions here are important to us. Bill serves on the board of the Aspen Institute and the Krasnow Institute and we are always interested in Johns Hopkins Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Advanced International Studies.We go to lectures and receptions at the National Gallery, concerts at the Phillips Collection, theater at the Harman Center and parties are at the Freer and Sackler galleries where guests wear gorgeous Asian finery and mingle with visiting maharajahs! Most of all we love our friends from over the years as well as the charming diplomats and interesting government officials who come, go and often return. What rules of etiquette remain meaningful for you today? It is most important to dress correctly for the occasion and make an effort to communicate with other guests. What has been lost that you miss the most? It is still nice to have proper invitations, place cards at table and written thank-you notes. Do you have any pet peeves with regard to bad manners? There is no excuse for not answering invitations and not showing up if you have accepted an invitation,

ashington is a diplomatic city par excellence, with 176 resident diplomatic missions led by amicable ambassadors unabashedly promoting their art and culture. All of us who live here feel like ambassadors, whether we are working at celebrated cultural institutions, worldclass restaurants or “hot” universities; whether we are entrepreneurs, teachers or taxi drivers. When I started working at the National Gallery 35+ years ago, I had visions of living here for several years and then moving on. Instead I was captivated by the dynamic vitality of an ever-evolving, open-minded and internationally flavored city that seemed to me the very best place to raise two inquisitive daughters. We are both charmed by this place and its denizens and goings-on, by “Evensong” at Washington National Cathedral, the gardens at Dumbarton Oaks, performances at the Kennedy Center, lectures at the Italian Embassy, walks along the Potomac and suppers with friends in our back garden during fig season. What rules of etiquette remain meaningful for you today? Opening doors for others, dinner-table decorum, being cheerful in the face of adversity (at least in public), listening to others with kindness and genuine interest and, yes, thank-you notes. Which social norms have stood the test of time? The art of the wellcrafted guest list, by which two friends who “must meet” each other actually do get together.

Tony and Buffy Miles Washington brings together many aspects of city life in ways that are not duplicated anywhere else.The exciting mixture of cultures, music and the art forms, as well as the international flavor and the academic flavor added by having five major universities in the city makes for a social scene that is vibrant and interesting. Friendships are formed through many avenues and last for many years, as Washington has a very stable social scene. We have served on many boards including corporate, independent schools and colleges, the Washington Ballet, Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Post Classical Ensemble (Buffy) and have been involved with Public Broadcasting, teaching and mentoring law students and federal support for scientific research (Tony).We are proud of passing the baton to our three adult children, who all delight in their Washington heritage. What rules of etiquette remain meaningful for today? Not bragging about wealth or income or asking others about such things. What has been lost that you miss the most? Musical evenings following beautiful dinner parties. Which social norms have stood the test of time? If you can’t reciprocate, don’t participate. What are the most common faux pas that you see people make here? Failure to introduce people to each other at social gatherings, working on a smart phone on a social occasion and extending “casual dress” beyond appropriate boundaries.

Giuseppe and Mercedes Cecchi

y career and our marriage are in many ways products of the great cultural diversity of our capital city. I came here from Milan in 1960 as a young Italian engineer on a threeyear assignment to scout for real estate development opportunities. The opportunity we found happened to be The Watergate, the first mixed use project in Washington, D.C. Three years quickly extended to ten and then evolved into a lifetime! What kept me here was the quality of life and the working environment that permitted me to become a successful developer, but it was my linguine alle vongole that first got my picture in the paper, when the Washington Star decided to feature my cooking along with that of some other â&#x20AC;&#x153;eligible bachelors.â&#x20AC;? That eligibility disappeared immediately when I met my beautiful wife, Mercedes, who was also far from her home in Uruguay. We fell in love, married and put roots down here. It has been a wonderful place to raise our four sons and Mercedes and I are blessed to have our 11 grandchildren growing up near us. Mercedes and I continue to support the caring, feeding and housing of those among us who need it most. What rules of etiquette or social behavior remain meaningful for you in the modern age? Close to all of them. What has been lost that you miss the most? Voice and eye contact, as most communications are now done by texting. .
