Month: January 2025

AGM Tomorrow Night!

Join us tomorrow night (Tuesday, January 21) for the Richmond Hill Historical Society’s Annual General Meeting and always popular bring and brag!

Learn about what your Society has been up to over the past year and help elect the Executive for 2025. This meeting gives you an opportunity to hear from each member of your Executive about their activities during the course of the past year, and, of great importance, also gives you the opportunity to vote for your new Executive.

After the AGM we will have our very popular bring and brag. Do you have a favourite artifact, family heirloom or item with a unique story? We invite you to bring it to the meeting to share with other members.

The AGM starts at 7:00 pm in Rooms A & B on the second floor of Central Library at 1 Atkinson Street.

See you there!

Curtain Club Fundraiser – January 23, 2025

Thanks to the generosity of The Curtain Club Theatre, the Richmond Hill Historical Society has been given a really great opportunity to fundraise. They have approved our request to be part of their Charity Night Program and offered us 25 tickets for their play All My Sons on January 23, 2025.

The play description:

During the Second World War, Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a machine shop making airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts while Keller went free and made a lot of money. The twin shadows of this catastrophe lead to an unforgettable conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity.

The doors open at 7:15 PM and showtime is 8:00 PM.

The tickets are $20.00 each.

If you are interested, or if you have friends or family that might be interested, please contact Andrea Kulesh at andrea-kulesh at hotmail.com, or (905) 884-2789 as soon as possible and we will hold your seats for you. Your tickets will be available when you arrive at the theatre.

Our deep gratitude to The Curtain Club and our thanks for your support.
