Parker Homestead Fundraiser
The Parker Homestead - 1665, Inc. held our first “solo” fundraising event on Friday, October 19, Party for Parker Homestead. Several local residents opened up their homes to host cocktail parties in celebration of The Parker Homestead- 1665, Inc. It was a wonderful and intimate event, where attendees had the opportunity to greet old friends and make new ones as they enjoyed delicious food and drinks.
These fun and casual events at local homes are reminiscent of a social organization that existed in our area years ago. The Parkers and their friends created the “I Tappa Kag” club to continue the spirit of social organizations that many people had experienced in their youth. The group appointed officers, planned social events and outings, and gathered at local homes for themed parties and cocktail socials. The comradery and fun continued for 30 years in and around Little Silver and was documented in local newspaper articles. The Parker Homestead has memorabilia from some of the "I Tappa Kag" events including meeting minutes, recipes, invites and even party favors.
The second annual "Party for Parker Homestead" is scheduled to take place in February 2020. We hope that you will join us. We would like to thank our sponsors and our hosts who participated in the inaugural event last October.
