Dining at
Rabbits were a Rare Bit of Fun
Until the mid-1970's, the purely social event of the club year was "The Rabbit", so-called because Welsh Rarebit was the refreshment served at the first function. Each year members chose a theme, wrote and staged original skits, made decorations, and came in appropriate costume. Many of the posters made by member artists are framed and hang in the basement dining hall. Press clippings of some of the more elaborate events are in the Club's archives. Some of the subjects in the archives include Houseboat on the River Styx, Alice in Wonderland, April in Paris, Gay Nineties, Rabbits on Safari, Crazy Hats, Cartoon Rabbit, and Visions of Egypt.
In a like spirit, the club now holds a Summer Gala, Holiday Fete, and a Spring Dinner, open only to members and their guests. Wednesday lunches were a long time tradition, recently discontinued.
