This year, the event will include a special tribute to the memory of Laura Ward, long-time supporter and former member of the board of directors of Historic Stranahan House.

Building on the success of past years' events, the plan remains consistent for 2006. The festivities kick off with casual cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres enjoy while perusing the many items at the silent auction. Dozens of treasures, from authentic period books, silver, and artifacts, as well as sumptuous gift baskets, ticket to entertainment and sporting events, home décor, jewelry from Carroll's Jewelers on Las Olas Boulevard, and more will be available for bidding. A pioneer dinner, served family buffet style in a tent along the north bank of the New River, will feature pioneer favorite dishes and refreshments. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy musical entertainment and free tours of Stranahan House, amid an informal atmosphere where Florida casual attire is required. This isn't any ordinary, formal fund raising dinner!

"We are so pleased that Bank of Florida continues to demonstrate its support for Stranahan House, agreeing to be our signature sponsor for the third year in a row," said Stranahan House executive director Barbara Keith. "Their generosity makes it possible for us to showcase the House to hundreds of influential business and community leaders. Plus, it's a natural partnership, since many Bank of Florida board members have served on the Stranahan House board of directors over the years, and been celebrated at our past roast events. And, Stranahan House served as Fort Lauderdale's first bank."

Individual tickets for Reminisce on the River are available for $125.00 and reservations for corporate or group tables of 10 are being accepted. For more information, please contact Stranahan House at (954) 524-4736.
