A note from Jane Gosden's Family:

The Gosden Family would like to extend an invitation to the Celebration of Jane's Life to her friends and colleagues in the Greenwich real estate community. You are welcome to join us on Saturday, September 11th from 1:00 to 3:00pm at Round Hill Club.

Due to COVID, it will primarily be an outdoor event on the terrace, with potential spillover to the indoors if more than 180 people attend. We currently expect approximately 150-200 people.
We certainly understand that many people may not feel comfortable attending a large gathering, but if you are planning to attend, please RSVP to wgosden@me.com so we can plan accordingly.
