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
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.
ORIGINAL POST BELOW – not all still applicable
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.
