Tavern Night at Noah Webster Museum

Social & Family Committee Hosts Tavern Night

47 Rotarians and their guests enjoyed a special Rotary Tavern Night at the Noah Webster Museum in West Hartford on Monday, November 5th, hosted by the Social & Family Committee co-chaired by Janice Freschlin and Ceil Collins.  The evening was inspired by a wonderful club presentation done last year by Christopher Dobbs, the museum's director.  The evening started with cocktails served by a large, roaring fire, followed by an 18th century dinner of roasted chicken with vegetables and apple brown betty.  Musician Don Sinetti, a performer at the Mystic Seaport Museum, serenaded the crowd with folk songs from America's past, accompanied by his banjo, including a number of sing-a-longs.  After dinner, guests were invited to play tavern games from the period set up in the museum's common rooms and ably coached by David Peterson, one of the museum's docents.  A great time was had by all.  Thanks so much to Janice, Ceil and the members of the Social & Family Committee for bringing an evening of fun and fellowship to our members and their guests!
