It all started with a cannon shot…

The 17th Annual Angelina Eberly Luncheon was a resounding success, hosted at the Austin Club, (located in the historic Millett Opera House) on February 26th, 2026. Over 180 guests joined us to celebrate a historic 2025, learn about the impact of the Austin History Center in our community, and hear some exceptional musical performances by Impact Arts and Jasmine Williams! This fundraiser was successful in powering our association’s work to support the Austin History Center, especially as we usher in a 2026 focused on celebrating 100 years of the Austin Public Library System.
