SOLD OUT

Every year, we look forward to gathering with members and friends to celebrate and recognize the fine restoration, renovation, and advocacy work completed on the Upper East Side. It always is a wonderful spring night, where our members learn about FRIENDS' activities the prior year and are treated to stories and remarks from the year's award recipients.

You are cordially invited to join us for our 44th Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, April 8th at 6:00 pm. The ceremony will start promptly at 6:30 pm and be followed by festive refreshments. This event is open and free of charge to all current members as a thank-you for your dedication to our mission.

If you are not yet a member, our Annual Meeting is also the perfect time to renew or join FRIENDS, which you can do at the registration link below. Your continued support is the engine that fuels our work, and we sincerely appreciate it!
