Rye Historical Society Annual Gala
Saturday, May 07, 2011
The Rye Historical Society will host its annual gala benefit on Saturday, June 4 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at a beautiful private residence in Rye with spectacular water views. Co-chairs Jeanine Scott, Joan Steere and Luana Murno have planned a memorable evening of live music, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, with live and silent auctions featuring unique and distinctive items. This year’s raffle winner will take home a stunning cushion-cut-blue topaz ring by Judith Ripka.
As in previous years, guests will also have an opportunity to support the Society’s mission and programs by making donations to an array of items on this year’s Giving Tree, including period costumes and archival storage boxes for our extensive textile collection.
