SAH/SCC is healthier than ever financially, and poised to offer another year of February outstanding events. We will continue our primary focus on education. The SAH/SCC Inside Hollyhock House: Behind-the-Scenes Members-Only Jour Executive Board has agreed that education is the best form of long-term preservation of our architeaural heritage. For example, we have found that simply including a March Reconsidering Lloyd Wright Home Tour building on one of our tours bestows some legitimacy to the structure as being Mondays at the Museum—Laguna Beach worthy of recognition. The more we teach the public about the rich architectural Architectural Guild heritage in Southern California, the easier it can be to preserve these treasures. Authors on Architecture—Peter Zellner The great success of SAH/SCC can be attributed to three things: First, your April financial support through membership dues and attendance at our events; second, Inside Downtown: The DWP Building Mondays at the Museum—Lorcan O'Herlihy your moral support, encouragement, and good cheer that make planning and putting May on events worthwhile; and third, the unfailing efforts of the all-volunteer SAH/SCC Modern Patrons—Tischler House by Schindler Executive Board.
