I have some exciting news about the 50+ Club!
As you know, the New-York Historical Society will re-open on November 11, 2011 after a major three-year renovation.
Beginning January 1, 2012, the benefits of 50+ Club membership will become a part of our general N-YHS membership benefits for those over 50 years of age. In order to continue your 50+ Club activities, you must become a member of the New-York Historical Society.
We are offering members of the 50+ Club a special discount on membership in the N-YHS. Now through December 31, 2011, you can join the New-York Historical Society for just $50 per person for the first year and receive both 50+ Club benefits and N-YHS member benefits including:
- Unlimited free admission to the Museum
- Half-price tickets to most public programs
- 10% discount in our Museum Store
- 10% discount in our new, Italian-themed restaurant
- Invitations to members-only events including the re-opening festivities
- Membership in the Empire State Museums Reciprocal Program which gives you free admission and museum store discounts at 22 New York State museums
- And, of course, all the programs we put together for the 50+ Club including our Photography Club and History Book Club
Please contact Joe Festa, Membership Manager, at jfesta@nyhistory.org or 212-485-9279.
Once you become a N-YHS member, you’ll be placed on our e-mail list and will receive the monthly newsletter full of articles, resources and programs — along with all the other benefits of membership.
I hope you’ll contact Joe and join us for all the fun when we re-open on November 11!
Best regards,
Kathleen O’Connor
I am already a member. Do I have to contact Joe?
Lois Roos
No Lois. We’ll make sure Joe has you on the new list.
I do not mind paying to be a member of the 50 plus club and will. Having said that there are many events that are interesting to me, like the photography club, but they are held during the week in the middle of the day. Many 50+ people work, including myself, and miss out on these events.
We’re going to be holding more activities in the evenings in 2012. The Photography and history Book Clubs will be among them. Hope to see you there!
