The host of an event tomorrow night featuring Hillary Clinton advisor Ann Lewis tells me that the 30-person gathering is intended as an occasion for her friends to learn more about Hillary, and isn't simply an effort to round up undecided donors and activists.

"I'm a huge Hillary supporter and I'm a great admirer of Ann Lewis and I wanted to give my friends a chance to hear her and to talk to her," said the host, Sally Susman.

"I think people are trying to educate themselves about the candidates and this is a way to do it," she said.

What are some things about Hillary's background that people might not know, I asked?

"Several of the people attending are not political activists," she said. "Some people who are coming have already contributed the max. It's just people who would like to have the chance to engage, learn more. Some people are making their decisions."

A reader passes on some information about a "conversation and cocktail" geared towards some New York donors who should be in Hillary Clinton's corner but still aren't.

The event, which will feature senior Hillary advisor Ann Lewis, is set to take place on April 11 in the Lower East Side home of Sally Susman and her partner Robin Canter.

From the invitation, as passed on by the reader:

We really believe in Hillary Clinton and are working hard to support her campaign. In speaking with many of you, we realize some of you are not yet convinced about Hillary or may have questions you would like to ask the campaign leadership.
