What a night!

 Thank you to everyone who made it out to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Samuel J. Tilden Club!

It was a great evening spent at the former home of our namesake, Governor Tilden.  Thank you to everyone for making it a huge success, but a special thanks to our Patrons, our Sponsors, and our wonderful Dinner Committee, including Dinner Chair Paula Schaeffer and Vice-Chair Wil Weder (who secured the National Arts Club as our location).

From the cocktails to the food to the décor of the National Arts Club, it was a fabulous night all around.  We honored two long time Tildenites: Louise Dankberg and Marcia Robinson, along with Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, and Governor Andrew Cuomo.  We were joined by dozens of elected officials and dignitaries.

We set the bar pretty high for future dinners!  But we will continue to have more fun in the decades to come.

See everyone again soon.

Best,
Steven
