It's time to party like it's 1999 and 1924 through 2024!The Presenting Sponsor is the County of Summit Executive Ilene Shapiro.
Guests attending the Society Centennial Celebration are encouraged to wear clothing reflecting a favorite decade. Be fun, festive or casual, and most importantly, be comfortable.
The night kicks off at 6 p.m. with heavy hors d'oeuvres themed around some favorite eras. There will be music to set the mood along with photos to take (of you) and see with Society artifacts on display that will soon be going to the new Akron History Center in preparation of Akron's Bicentennial.
Tickets are $100 each which include a great atmosphere, a drink (more available for purchase), hors d'oeuvres and classic decade desserts. For an additional $50, attendees may purchase an option for "History with Dave (Lieberth) in the Den." This option will take you to a secret location on another floor for a drink and Akroncentric appetizers.
Silent auction teasers include a bourbon tasting with Joe Abraham, Society Director Emeritus, at the mansion and a themed dinner by Chef Dan Remark of the Magic City's Remarkable Diner.
Funds collected will be applied toward Centennial programming, operations, publications and our endowment at Akron Community Foundation. Let’s begin our second century, honoring the spirit of the Perkins family by continuing to reach out to the community and provide rock-solid footing for our future!
We have been diligently planning our centennial anniversary with Society Board Directors and Directors Emeritus. Every $1,000 Society Centennial Donor will receive one (1) complimentary ticket to our celebration event to be held on July 12, 2024, with honorary chairs Dave Lieberth and Judi Hill. Dave is the Society chairman emeritus, Executive Secretary of the Akron Bicentennial Commission and President of the Akron History Center. Judi is a past Society board director and President of the NAACP.
While you're at it, consider renewing or signing up to become a Society member to mark your place in our 100 year history!
