MARCH 22

Of course Julia Child won’t be in attendance, but it’s the next-best thing: on March 22, Boston University celebrates the icon’s memory with a dinner to benefit the school’s Julia Child Scholarship Fund. Jacques Pépin and master of wine Sandy Block will host the event, which features a six-course dinner prepared by renowned Boston chefs including Jody Adams (Rialto), Barbara Lynch (No. 9 Park), and Chris Douglass (Icarus). Each course will be paired with two wines; a silent auction will also be featured. The cost is $175, which includes a $75 tax-deductible contribution, and the event begins at 6:30 p.m. Call (617) 353-9852, or visit www.bu.edu/lifelong/seminars for reservations and information.
