This past Saturday night at the Lotos Club, the Holland Society of New York held its 131st Dinner Dance. The Holland Society was founded in 1885 as a historical and genealogical society to honor and preserve the history of New Netherland, the Dutch settlement which became New York. The Holland Society annually awards a Medal for Distinguished Achievement for civic, cultural, or social contributions to New York. The Society’s 2021 medalists were Broadway actors Carolyn McCormick and Byron Jennings.

The Society welcomed 84 guests to the Dinner Dance. During the cocktail hour, Carolyn McCormick and Byron Jennings performed the balcony scene from Noel Coward’s play Private Lives, to great applause.

In advance of dinner, the traditional toasts were made. Following the toasts, the Reverend Paul Lent read the invocation. Next, Holland Society Director Sarah Cooney welcomed guests and introduced the medalists, highlighting that “theatre is an integral part of New York culture, and Carolyn McCormick and Byron Jennings are integral parts of New York theatre.” Carolyn McCormick read their acceptance speech, noting the Society’s focus on celebrating New York stories.
