Guidelines
The WRSSAR holds regular events throughout the year. These events are open to members, their families, friends and the community at large. We endeavor to make these events both fun and educational. We look forward to seeing you there. If you have ideas for future events, please do send them to us: wrssar.communications@gmail.com
- RSVPs are required for all events. We accept online payments at the time of your reservation or you can pay at the door (cash, check or credit card). While we would prefer non-members to pay in advance, that is not a requirement.
- Cancellations must be made in writing or by phone, at least, 72 hours ahead of time.
Online RSVP Service
You can RSVP (no payment required) or Pre-Pay for any event by clicking the appropriate box below. Feel free to contact us with questions.
Please note: Due to venue policies, if you RSVP and do not pre-pay, but then fail to attend the event, we will need you to reimburse us the full cost of your ticket since the venue will charge us for your meal whether you attend or not.
Event Calendar
As of 7/1/2020, it appears that either there will be no fans in the seats OR our scheduled game will not take place. Thus, we have to CANCEL this year’s Indians Outing. But, we will return in 2021. Check back early in the winter 2021 to see the date selected for our 2021 game.
ORIGINAL POST:
This summer, we picked a Tuesday night game against San Diego since it is a rare pairing to see in Cleveland. We have reserved 14 CLUB SEATS for this game.
For those who have not been to the Club Seat area before, CLUB SEATS are in a restricted area for club seat ticket holders only with UNLIMITED – all you can eat and drink (non-alcoholic) food from various restaurants and stands in that section. There is also an air conditioned lounge with a bar and TV screens – the entire club area was renovated two years ago.
We are not adding a penny to the cost of the ticket since it is steep. Each ticket is $90. You can pay for the ticket by cash, check or credit card. We have to sell them on a 1st come/1st served basis since we only have 14 seats and we cannot get any more. Club Seats sell out by early February.
We need to cap ticket purchases at 4 tickets per person in order to ensure that several members can take advantage of this great event.
To purchase tickets, you can either do so ONLINE using our RSVP and PREPAY section of the Events page or you can mail us a check. But, please contact us BEFORE mailing a check just to make sure that we still have seats. You can email us at wrssar.communications@gmail.com or call 216-357-1646.
In early summer, I will email the tickets to those who have purchased them.
If you have other thoughts of sporting or social events that you would like us to sponsor, please let us know. Our goal is to find ways to attract our members to our events. We can only do so with your feedback.
Board Meeting – all members requested to attend if possible
UPDATE: 6/24/2020
From the President of the WRSSAR:
Due to Covid, we have had to change our original plans for the Fundraiser Gala at the Shoreby Club. The committee is still working on final revisions. But, at this point, we do want to hold the event for those who are interested in attending but it will not feature any speakers, special guests or entertainment. It will be a smaller gathering (max 30 attendees) who will enjoy a beautiful early fall evening at the club overlooking Lake Erie.
We will post more information as it is available. We are still setting the price and working out some final details. But, remember, it will be 1st come, 1st served so if you are interested (at any price), please let us know.
We will update this site as soon as we have more info.

WESTERN RESERVE SOCIETY AT THE SHOREBY CLUB!
On XXX (5:30pm – 8:30pm), we will be holding a first ever event at the beautiful and exclusive Shoreby Club Mansion in Bratenahl on the shores of Lake Erie. The theme of the early evening event is to honor the World War II service of Marine corpsman and Silver Star recipient Emory Crowder, a friend of the Western Reserve and a member of the “Greatest Generation.” Dr. Edward Horvath, former Chief Medical Officer, US Forces Iraq, will introduce Emory and both will offer some brief remarks.
In keeping with the event’s theme, LIVE period music (big band) will be offered. A silent auction is also anticipated. The timing of the affair is set to conclude prior to nightfall.
Tickets are $125.00 a person, which includes valet parking, non-alcoholic drinks, and a sit down dinner (cash bar also offered). Patron tickets at $250.00 are also available. For more information, please email wrssar.communications@gmail.com There is a maximum of 70 tickets so buy your tickets early!
FOOD NOTES: For the entree, we are serving chicken. If you have a food restriction (Gluten-free, Vegetarian), please contact us via email or phone to let us know: wrssar.communications@gmail.com or 216-357-1646.
