JACK AND SUSANNA QUINN >>
He’s an attorney and former White House Counsel to President Bill Clinton. She’s founder of on-demand beauty app Veluxe. Their favorite charity is No Kid Hungry’s Share our Strength, which provides healthy meals to chidren in need. WASHINGTON LIFE: What is your favorite event venue? JACK QUINN: Without any doubt, my favorite venue is our home. We try hard to make sure that that is the venue where we entertain. It’s a warm environment and our friends are always entertaining and interesting – as are, of course, all of our children. Susanna is amazing at that, on top of her duties as Mom and CEO of Veluxe, she’s a talented and creative cook – and she never fails to make a dinner party fun, informative and satisfying. WL: What are common faux pas people make at social events? SUSANNA QUINN: Not engaging politely; looking past the person with whom you are speaking for someone else. We work on eye contact with our five-year-old. The same rules apply for adults. You may not remember every good conversation but it is hard to forget when someone is rude.
