Announcing

Both planners and poets, George Merrick and Richard Blanco meet on Founder’s Day

The event honored Merrick’s love of poetry with selected readings from his 1920 book “Songs of the Wind on a Southern Shore, and other Poems of Florida.” Poetry readings were presented by poet laureate Richard Blanco.

A National Celebration

The organization hosted an educational panel titled, “Preserving our Patrimony. Preserving our Planet”

“A Stone’s Throw Away: 100 Years of the Deering Stone House”

The affair shared the legacy of architect Phineas Paist who, aside from designing the custom-built Mediterranean Revival stone house at Deering, he also designed landmarks in Coral Gables.
