After an absence of two COVID years, the Pinole History Museum invites you to join us for our third fundraising dinner and gala on Saturday, September 24, 2022, in the Family Life Center of Valley Bible Church in Hercules.

The event will feature a great sit-down, catered dinner from La Strada, entertainment, a fabulous raffle and silent auction, and several multi-media presentations.

AND — George R. Vincent, longtime teacher at Ellerhorst Elementary School, co-founder of the Pinole Historical Society, and author of several books about Pinole's history and the people who lived here, will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the community and the preservation of our city's history. We'd have little record of Pinole's history without him.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!

Your support is needed as the Pinole History Museum Board of Directors continues to develop plans to open this long-awaited history center.
