Next LAHA Quarterly Meeting: November 6, 2010

Our next LAHA Quarterly Meeting will be on November 6, 2010 at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton (1201 W. Malvern Ave., Fullerton,92833). Zoot Valasco will present on how to use events to generate income, as their budget rose 14% last year in large part because of their events and about 60% of their budget now comes from events, weddings and fundraisers. The meeting will begin at 10AM and will be followed by a tour, as well.

People can come by Amtrak train (an 8:30am train from Union Station that arrives at 9am), and we'll coordinate a pick up.

Or, you can drive: Take the 91 East, exit Euclid, drive North to Malvern and turn left. It's one block down on the Right. If you take the 5 South, exit Artesia and head East. Turn left at Dale and then right at Malvern, and you will drive past the Target and see the Mansion on left hand side.

Parking is in rear lot.

2nd Quarter LAHA Meeting a Success

Over 20 groups met Saturday, May 2nd for the second LAHA quarterly meeting of 2009. From Malibu to Pomona and the San Fernando Valley to Torrance, groups represented greater L.A. as we shared resources and strategies for the benefit of all.

The bulk of the meeting was a workshop on using strategic partnerships to recruit volunteers. A four-page worksheet was presented and worked through offering advice, suggestions, and best practices in working efficiently to recruit the volunteers you need for your organization in general and for your board.

Also discussed was future meetings, as well as an update on the Heritage Tourism pilot project, a heritage master calendar, our online listing of organizations (click the blue button in the right-hand column on this site to see the latest version!), and future programs and meetings.

Don't miss the next quarterly meeting on the 1st Saturday of August, where we'll be reviewing a calender for 2010. Stay tuned for detail on that meeting later this summer.
