At the meeting, candidates will present themselves to the membership for your vote.
The meeting and election will be held at Philippe Soler's beautifully restored 1890 Queen Anne Victorian, which was relocated to West Adams in 1982 from its original location at 1116 Ingraham Street. Please join us for a tour of the house and the good fellowship of West Adams neighbors and friends.
