Griffith was among the principals at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday and will participate in other celebratory events, including a grand opening gala with singer Tony Bennett, this weekend. Griffith was honorary chair of the Memorial Hall Transformation Steering Committee, which helped raise more than $5 million for the public-private partnership that made the renovation possible.
