The Historic GeorgeTown Club Foundation (HGTCF) debuted with an inaugural Fall Soirée on Friday, November 7. With over 150 guests in spectacular fashion, The GeorgeTown Club’s history came to life with curated, themed rooms to honor key moments and notable individuals since the Club’s founding in 1966. Live music performed by Nicole Valentina set the ambience of the evening’s theme and specialty crafted menus including filet medallions and Boulevardier cocktails matched the era of each room. A skyscraper strawberry cake was provided by a member and the team at Boulangerie Christophe.
In his remarks, HGTCF President Gerald Musarra thanked supporters stating, “The first Foundation member and guest event raised $122,854.”
Musarra shared, “[The Foundation’s] primary purpose is preservation of the Club’s historic buildings and assets through tax-deductible contributions from members.” Extending beyond the Club, the HGTCF seeks to foster engagement with Georgetown’s civic and historic organizations and support select community preservation initiatives, while sponsoring historic and cultural programming. The HGTCF is led by President Gerald Musarra and an independent board. The HGTCF Soirée Event was chaired by Darcy Nauman.
