‘In Celebration of Sprinklers,’ The 2019 WIHA Auction to Preserve a Winthrop Treasure
Save the date! The Winthrop Improvement & Historical Association (WIHA) is excited to announce, “In Celebration of Sprinklers,†a 2019 WIHA Holiday Auction taking place on Friday, Dec. 6, 8-11 p.m., in the Deane Winthrop Barn, 40 Shirley Street. Black tie optional.
Stephanie Honan, Lauren Mazzuchelli, and Christine Reilly from WIHA will Co-Chair the Auction. Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, Robert A. DeLeo has graciously agreed to serve as Honorary Co-Chair of the event.
The horrible fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris last Spring served as a warning to WIHA to better-protect the Town of Winthrop’s treasure, the 350+ year old Deane Winthrop House. Specialized fire suppression systems for older building such as the House cost in excess of $40,000. Raising funds towards this ambitious project is the goal of the Auction.
Auctioneer Matt Honan plans to dazzle the guests with his usual style as he entertains bids on an interesting mix of items including Sports Memorabilia, Theater Tickets, Vintage Items and more.
A cash wine bar and complimentary hot hors d’oeuvres will be available. Tickets are $35 per person/$60 per couple in advance, or $50 per person/$75 per couple at the door. To reserve your tickets, please phone (617) 846- 0074 before De. 4. Ample parking is available a block away at the ball field.
