Summer Solstice Soirée: Flora & Fauna
Slated to be an exercise in overindulgence on this once annual day when the Earth's axis is tilted most towards the sun. Come raise a glass with us and toast to our connection to the flora and fauna that keep us tuned in to our terra firma and our own little piece of paradise, the Turner House.
This is our annual membership celebration, and has also become our pinnacle annual fundraising event — so bring your pocketbooks, and be please generous! The House has come so far but there is still a great deal of work to be done to realize our dream of her full restoration.
The evening’s activities will include:
A brief membership meeting (as required by our bylaws) to elect new leaders of the Society
An expansive, air-conditioned tent on the lawn for even more room to celebrate
Live entertainment
A delicious array of menu items and cocktails presented by favorite local chefs and restaurants like Taco y Vino, Ari’s Pantry, and Nova
Numerous fundraising opportunities including a raffle stocked with luxury items, a fierce battle of Heads or Tails, and a live auction of travel opportunities and art
Active members who have kept up with their annual dues are entitled to free tickets until June 1. General admission tickets are also available to the public at an “early bird” discount until June 1. There are many sponsorship opportunities that include your guests who will in turn be awarded membership for the coming year. Not yet a member? Join today!
