2021 Strawberry Rose Dinner
Traditionally held as a luncheon, this event hearkens back to the
origins of the club in the early 1900s. The Strawberry Rose Luncheon marked the
end of the club season in Rochester, aster which many members and their families
would escape the summer heat for more temperate climates along
Lake Ontario. Coinciding with the strawberry harvest in the last weeks
of June the luncheon was appropriately named and eagerly anticipated
each year. Members would don their finest hats, their newest pair of
summer gloves, and spend time in the gardens with guests before
enjoying a tasteful meal in the ballroom. Each member received a
rose in commemoration of their membership and support of
the club. Please be sure to take a rose from the table upon your
departure in thanks for your dedication to keeping our
history and membership alive.
