HistoryMiami hosts first gala in celebration of its 70th Anniversary
“We promised that – just like HistoryMiami’s programming – this elegant affair for the cultural arts would be of the highest quality and offer something for everyone,” said Dr. Michael N. Rosenberg, Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
The evening’s program, hosted by WPLG/Channel 10 news anchor Laurie Jennings, honored “Miami History Makers,” recognizing those families and organizations that have had a significant impact in shaping South Florida. The honorees included The Reeves Family, The Valdes-Fauli Family, The Wolfson Family, the Florida Grand Opera, and the American Red Cross South Florida Region.
The Moon Over Miami Gala raised funds for HistoryMiami’s future expansion plans that seek to double museum exhibition and educational spaces and to renovate the Miami-Dade Cultural Plaza in Downtown Miami.
HistoryMiami’s Gala was chaired by Deborah Campbell, Elizabeth Parnes, Barbara Reese and Leslie J. Lott, Esq., and the Gala Committee included Kerrin Bermont, Betty Brody, Tina Carlo, Karen Corlett McCammon, Kimberly Criser, Tiffany D’Aurizio, Sara Gutierrez, Debbie Hasty, Marilyn List, Natasha Lowell, Rita Michel, Eileen Plasky, Diane Rosenberg, Bonnie Schamback, Susannah Shubin, Libby Smith, Amy Sussman and Mary Young. The Grand Historian sponsors for the evening were AT&T, Diane and Michael Rosenberg and Dr. Sanford Ziff.
