Thank you to all who attended the Seventh Women Creating Legacy event.
And a very special thank you to our committee members Lauren Bauer, Emily Fessler, Erin Fessler, Susan Kanonczyk, Abby Lechner, Barb Lechner, Dr. Kim Mascia, Leah Murphy, Lisa NeCastro and Dana Zaphiris. They did a great job of doubling our attendance from last year to 220 guests!
This committee also helped the museum raise over $42,000 from this event. And that’s a record!
Funds raised from this event will help to conserve the Eugene Iverd paintings donated to the History Center from the Erie School District. This local painter and Erie school teacher modeled his paintings after the style of Norman Rockwell and featured Erie children in his works.
With an exhibit of his works, students on field trips to the History Center can come to appreciate Iverd’s artistry, realize his place in history, and perhaps consider becoming an artist as a career choice.
