To quickly respond such that people are not terribly confused -- our major
gifts team is hosting a fundraising event at the Dillon Gallery in NY
sometime in the future. I don't have any further details myself (not my
area of what we do); but I'll direct the attention of that team to this
thread/question.

What are you talking about? A quick Google reveals no
evidence that the
Wikimedia Foundation and the Dillon Gallery have any association, apart
from we have a wiki page on them. Who is the mail from - WMF or a chapter?
Do you often receive snail mail from them? If not, do you have any evidence
that you haven't fallen victim to an elaborate scam? What is an
"invitation(?)" and how does it differ from an invitation?
To borrow your TL;DR, In short: huh???

Hi, so I got this snail mail with an
invitation(?) to an event(?) at
Dillon
Gallery on Oct 1 for a suggested(?) donation of
$500... and it left me
confused more than anything else.
What's the event about? I can't find anything anywhere else (not that I
looked very hard). I understand it's a fundraising function, but besides
that? If I go there, what am I going to get (other than Cocktails & Hors
d'oeuvres)?
What if I don't do the suggested donation?
On a whole different level, since when does Wikimedia do fundraising
events? I thought it was a policy to abandon attempts to gain major
donors
and to focus on the $10 donations? When did that
change?
In short: huh???
