A Spectacular Gala!

May 15, 2019

Our Spirit of Preservation Gala was a smashing success! Our guests enjoyed cocktails and delicious food in the company of our honorees, friends and preservation community. Classical guitarist Mauricio Ortiz and the L.A. Love Band enhanced the lively atmosphere. And the extraordinary achievements and stories of Ernest Marquez and Doris Sosin inspired and moved us all.
