Saturday, April 21st, 2018
The San Diego History Center’s annual dinner, The Makers of San Diego History, honors the institutions, communities, and people who have made history in their own time. This year we will be celebrating the San Diego History Center on its 90th year of being a civic asset to the region of San Diego.
Founded by civic leader George Marston, the History Center has been telling our region’s story by celebrating civic change-makers for 90 years. Join us for an unforgettable Champagne Reception and Anniversary Dinner on Saturday, April 21, 2018.
At the celebration, we will give you a sneak peek at plans for a new, core exhibition of the San Diego region’s history, innovative ways to connect with local communities to tell their own San Diego stories, and a new scholarship program to engage the historians of tomorrow.
On behalf of the San Diego History Center and Board of Directors, we are honored to have two well-known philanthropists, Julie Cowan Novak and Kristi Pieper as our co-chairs this year along with Honorary Chairs, Malin and Roberta Burnham.
We welcome you to join us as we celebrate our past and embrace our future!
