I’m thrilled to announce that I have been asked to serve on the Executive Board of Directors as Chair of Education for the newly formed of Beverly Hills Heritage, an organization founded by my dear friend, the dynamic Kimberly Vinokur Reiss.
I’ve spent years being frustrated by the lack of architectural preservation in Beverly Hills; indeed, I wish this new organization had been around 20 years ago before we lost so many beautiful homes to McMansions and other architectural horrors.
But with this organization, I am confident that slowly but surely, we will make inroads. Beverly Hills Heritage is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization (currently being organized) that is dedicated to celebrating Beverly Hills’ history and culture. It will provide a wide range of programming in areas such as the conservation of historical artifacts and structures, historical education, and creating community outreach programs about the City of Beverly Hills.
I’ll keep you posted on the growth and actions of what I know will be a terrific organization.
All my best to you,
Eleanor
