FRIENDS is pleased to hold our Twenty-seventh Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony in the stunning ballroom at Bohemian National Hall. Built in 1896, this Renaissance Revival building is a rare survivor of social halls built in the late nineteenth century for New York City’s burgeoning immigrant population. This magnificent building received our Renaissance Award in 2009. Each year FRIENDS recognizes fine restoration, renovation and advocacy work on the Upper East Side, both in and out of the historic districts. Please join FRIENDS and our awardees for this wonderful event and a reception following the ceremony.
This event is free, reservations are required.
