June 13th Picnic    

Bring your dinner, drink, and lawn chair to Brighton's historic Buckland Farmhouse on Tuesday, June 13th to celebrate RGS' 85th birthday and to honor two long-standing RGS members.

Festivities start at 6:15 pm at the farmhouse located at 1341 Westfall Road (between Winton Rd. S. and Clinton Ave.). After the picnic and birthday cake, Brighton's Town Historian and RGS member, Mary Jo Lanphear, will offer a guided tour through the circa 1830s home.

We will also be inducting Peter Bush and Larry Naukam  into the RGS Roll of Honor. Members who have made an exceptional contribution to our organization are elected to receive this honor. Peter is a founding member of our society and since 1977 has held several Board positions, including President, as well as oversaw several major events through the years. Larry has served RGS in many capacities since 1978, most recently President since 2017.

RGS is happy to honor them with this recognition. See the news article for their many contributions.
