Historical Society of Rockland County Annual Dinner 2014
The Historical Society of Rockland County Is Pleased to Announce The 20th Annual Dinner!
Where: The View on the Hudson, 101 Shad Row, Piermont
Lifetime Service Awards will be presented to:
The Benmosche Family, for their outstanding community service in the ongoing efforts to preserve and share Suffern's Lafayette Theater, a unique place in Rockland County. Robert Benmosche and his son Ari purchased the building in 1999; in 2002, the family began restoring its interior, bringing back the theater's luxurious prewar style while investing in modern projection equipment and concession areas. Thanks to the Benmosche Family's continued support of, and belief in, this historic treasure, together with a new partnership with the Town of Ramapo, the Lafayette Theater is poised to continue to be the centerpiece of Suffern and a gem in the Rockland County community.
Howard H. and Ruth Schack, long-time members and supporters of the Historical Society of Rockland County, who have worked tirelessly to record and share the history of their native Spring Valley. Their essays have been published in the Society's quarterly history journal South of the Mountains. They have also chronicled their family's business success story, which began in 1898 when Howard Schack's grandfather opened Schack Glass in Spring Valley, now an international company with offices and projects worldwide.
Stuart Gates, Municipal Historian for the Town of Stony Point; historian for the Rockland County Volunteer Fireman's Association; and editor of that organization's newsletter, The Trumpet. His encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the Fireman's Association has made him the go-to resource at the annual firefighters' parade. Without a single written note, he recounts a library of information about each brigade, to the astonishment of everyone in the viewing stand.
The honorees will be presented with awards for their contribution to life in Rockland County and for preserving the history of Rockland County.
Guests will enjoy a cocktail hour, live musical entertainment, award presentations and dancing. An array of items will be available at a silent auction.
Your participation is key to the success in recognizing the work of our awardees and sustaining the mission of HSRC.
