Our February 27th day-long event to the Pasadena Museum of California Art to see the Millard Sheets exhibit, followed by lunch at the historic Raymond House Restaurant and a viewing of the Waite's fantastic art collection, was truly a day to remember.  Despite a little rainy weather, everyone had a terrific time.  If you have not viewed the Millard Sheets exhibit, make sure you do not miss it. 

On April 18th, Jean and Linda Stern will host a Patron Party at their home from 6:30 to 9:00pm.
