On behalf of the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, I am thrilled to invite you to our upcoming fundraising gala, about vertical lift—a unique celebration of artistry, innovation, and history. The event will feature a plaque dedication for our recent award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, recognizing Hammondsport as a historic place in aviation history for Williams’ 1908 vertical lift. The dedication will be followed by a cocktail hour and exhibition opening, highlighting the intersection of modern artistry and groundbreaking technological advancements in vertical lift. A banquet and lecture will round out our evening’s festivities of inspiring conversations and exclusive previews.
