The Beatles Faux Sale
Come together for an evening of fun and great music, all for a good cause. Two groups “The Beatles Faux Sale”, a Beatles tribute band, and The Glimmer Twins, a Rolling Stones tribute band, will “Come Together” to play a benefit/awareness concert for the Meadowlands Museum.
The Glimmer Twins
As a way to bring attention and to raise some funds for the Meadowlands Museum Preservation Project, we are thrilled to be part of this benefit concert to be held at the Williams Center for the Arts on May 21, 2011 at 8PM. Prices are, $40VIP, $35 Preferred, $25 Patron. You can view the entire seating chart on the Williams Center website: www.williamscenter.org. Tickets are available through the Museum. To purchase tickets you can call 201-935-1175 or send an e-mail to meadowlandsmuseum at verizon.net.
Those of you who have visited or driven by the Museum, know that our historic home desperately needs a new roof in addition to general exterior preservation! Thanks to a grant from the Bergen County Historic Preservation Trust Fund, the Museum was able to have a Preservation Plan prepared by our Preservation Architects at Farewell Mills Gatsch. This is a required first step, that then allows us to apply for grant money to get the necessary preservation work done and to get it done properly. Our historic house still has an original cedar shake roof, a standing seam metal roof and several layers of very old asphalt shingles on top of that.
We have applied for both NJ State Historic Trust Funds as well as for Bergen County Historic Trust Funds, to begin to do the restoration work on our nationally recognized historic house, but we must raise our own portion of funds for the project.
So join us on May 21st and bring your friends. The music will be great and it also gives you a chance to help preserve an important old house and the organization that not only cares for this building, but also shares and preserves our area’s history.
