Reception and Dinner
Sunday, April 29, 7 p.m.
Enjoy an amazing meal from executive chef
Dan King and his staff at The Buffalo Club,
Buffalo, N. Y. The original incorporation papers
for this world-famous facility were signed by

1853, and 92 like-minded gentlemen. Grover
Cleveland, who served two separate terms
as U.S. president, remained a Buffalo Club
member all his life. It has been said that to
know the club’s history is to know much of the
history of Buffalo.
