Rome Historical Society schedules annual dinner March 22 at Delta Lake Inn; Medal of the Order of 1777 to be presented
Summary
An organizer of the Rome Historical Society invited council members and residents to the society's annual dinner on March 22 at the Delta Lake Inn; the program will include the presentation of the Medal of the Order of 1777 and a talk by Shane Mahar of the Canal Corporation.
Bobby O’Brien, one of the organizers of the Rome Historical Society’s annual dinner, used the March 12 Common Council public-comment period to invite council members and residents to the event on Saturday, March 22 at the Delta Lake Inn.
“The program this year is awarding the prestigious Medal of the Order of 1777 to Mr. Thomas Keneally Sr., a veteran and beloved member of our Rome community,” O’Brien said. The program will also mark the bicentennial of the Erie Canal; Shane Mahar, director of public engagement for the Canal Corporation, is scheduled to speak about the past and future of the canal.
The event will start at 5:30 p.m. with a cash bar, buffet dinner and a program to follow, O’Brien said. He said tickets are available at the museum (hours provided) and online at www.romehistoricalsociety.org and Eventbrite. O’Brien said a limited number of tickets were physically available at the meeting.
Ticket pricing was not stated clearly in the meeting transcript; O’Brien said a $60 price for members but other amounts recorded in the transcript were unclear. For ticket details and hours of the museum, O’Brien gave an email (museum@romehistoricalsociety.org) and a contact phone number ((315) 336-5870).
Why it matters: The society’s dinner is a community event recognizing local volunteers and organizations and featuring a canal-corporation speaker tied to the Erie Canal bicentennial.
O’Brien closed the comment by encouraging attendance and noting that Delta Lake Inn needs a final headcount soon.
