Dues for current members only--use drop down box

St. George's Society of Palm Beach is formed by Susan Oyer, Harvey E Oyer, Jr,  Marian Morgan, and the Bales (Bob & Gloria).  The first meeting is at Rosalita's.

Until a permanent meeting place wa chosen, meetings were held at The Boca Muse, including our first formal meeting with PBC Genealogist Marjorie Nelson.  All those that joined in 2007 are Founding members.

We create a logo that represents Palm Beach, St. George, and England (see left).

Meetings are moved to The Chesterfield Hotel in Palm Beach--thanks Marian for the suggestion--our meeting location ever since.  This has been a great partnership.

We try a variety of fundraisers over the years.  Our first raffle items were donated by Cartier, Palm Beach.  Royal Wedding programs (William & Catherine) for silent auction were the most successful auction items ever.

Some of our most prominent guest speakers spoke during these years:  author/former assistant to the Duchess of Windsor Rene Silvin, Jim "Mr. Palm Beach" Ponce, wine expert/Colonel Bobby Spencer (retired), and author Laurence Leamer.

The Society gets a Twitter feed, joins Meetup.com, and gets member number 100.

Our first fashion show held in March at The Chesterfield Hotel and co-sponsored by The Circumnavigator's Club of Palm Beach to benefit FAU's British History department.  The event was chaired by Lady Susan Willis-Reickert and Erick Reickert.  Proceeds from this event were used to fund a British History research endowment chair in our name at FAU!!

The St. George's Society of Palm Beach celebrates its 10th birthday on 7-7-2017.  Our actual luncheon celebration was held on July 29th at The Chesterfield Hotel.  Argentinian artist Paula Weiszkopf donated one of her paintings to us during the luncheon to be auctioned at a later date as a fundraiser.  Elected and local officials from Boynton Beach joined us:  City Manager Lori Laverriere, then Vice Mayor Justin Katz (now Commissioner, and Commissioner Joseph Casello (now State Representative dist 90).

We create a new logo for our next decade (see left).

We had our largest event ever:  our "Dining Royally" event, chaired by Lady Susan Willis-Reickert, which brought in former royal chef Darren McGrady for our March dinner at The Colony Hotel.  Over 160 guests were delighted by tales and photos of Chef McGrady's 15+years cooking for HM Queen Elizabeth II, Diana, Princess of Wales, and the rest of the royal family.  Chef also oversaw the meal:  favorites from each member of the royal family were on the menu.

President Susan Oyer, Vice President Lady Susan Willis-Reickert, and Event Co-Chair Erick Reickert attended the 2019 Garter Ceremony at Windsor Chapel.  

We held our first Christmas in Cornwall luncheon in December.  A successful Holiday Boutique raised funds to support multiple charity efforts.

After our first 2 events of 2020, we had to cancel our remaining events due to Covid-19 and the worldwide lockdown.  Sadly, this included us canceling our luncheon with the British Consul General--to be rescheduled.  In the Fall, we had 4 zoom events that were fundraisers for our British History Endowment Chair at FAU. 

Due to Covid 19, we waited until most of our members were vaccinated to restart the Spring season.  We had a short but fun set of gatherings including a tour of Pan's Garden and a presentation by kinetic artist Lloyd Goradesky.
