Exclusive Benefits of The Sterling Society:

• Recognition on a Foucault Pendulum Peg
• A unique benefit of Sterling Society membership is having your name inscribed on a
• Foucault Pendulum peg. The pendulum greets every visitor to the museum, and over the course of 28 hours, knocks down a circle of pegs to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. Your name will be engraved on one of the pegs.

Take a Classic to Lunch

Each year you can enjoy a chauffeured tour of Hutchinson Island in a classic car.
Lunch is included in this enjoyable and uniquely-Elliott event.

Recognition on Lobby Wall

The Sterling Society Wall in the Lobby prominently displays all individual and corporate members.
Your name will be engraved with the name/s you choose.
