Q. Can I make a donation to the Club’s Charitable Fund on the Eventbrite webpage?
A. Yes, there is a link to the Charitable Fund on the Eventbrite page as well as on our website. Our $20,000 goal is achievable with your support.
Q. Why are we only selling tickets through Eventbrite?
A. The Planning Committee acknowledged early on that during the pandemic only contactless or touchless tickets will be available as a duty of care we have towards the businesses that used to sell hard copy tickets for the House Tours and to our purchasers. Going forward Eventbrite provides us with easy access to information about our purchasers and streamlines the process of selling tickets to our annual event.
