CORRECTION:
The Aug. 15 edition of the Roslyn News Times incorrectly reported that the Roslyn Landmark Society is struggling with a decline in visitors. A representative from Roslyn Landmark Society said visitors to historic sites do not accurately reflect an interest in the organization, as tours are not a current focus of the organization. The organization reports that membership has nearly doubled over the past few years and has hosted cocktail receptions and family-friendly events with members.Â
Additionally, the passing of founders Roger and Peggy Gerry almost 25 years ago has not had a significant impact on the organization’s daily outreach, as inaccurately stated in the original article. The organization said it earned significant donations and engaged in matched fund-raising challenges, including a $1 million match challenge in 2022.
