Rye Historical Society Annual Gala
Friday, May 25, 2012
The Rye Historical Society will host its annual gala benefit on Saturday, June 2 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at its historic Knapp House Archives (c. 1670) at 265 Rye Beach Avenue in Rye, NY. Co-chairs Jacqueline Jenkins and Luana Murno have planned a memorable evening of hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, live music by the Joe Fitzgerald Trio, and live and silent auctions featuring unique and distinctive items.
This year the Society is honoring two of its own – Pamela and Eugene McGuire – for their dedicated and tireless efforts in bringing Rye’s history to life. Gene McGuire, a past President of the Society’s Board of Trustees, has been the driving force behind the Society’s annual Historic Walking tours since 2004. His wife Pam McGuire is the current Secretary of the Board of Trustees and has spearheaded the research and design of permanent signs that will constitute the Walk Rye History project being installed this summer. The evening will also honor the corporate and individual sponsors of those beautiful and informative signs.
Ticket prices for this year’s benefit event start at $150 per person at the Sponsor level. For reservations or more information, please call (914) 967-7588 or visit their website Rye Historical Society.
