Whatever on earth is this that stretches along the street for several miles? I keep thinking, studio, shopping mall, but no name visible.

Most notably the Beverly Hills Women's Club, est. 1916, was saved 5 years ago and now has a membership of close to 300. It supports the community with numerous outreach programs and donations to local charities.<br />The Pacific Palisades Women's Club has donated $10 million to local charities over the last 10 years.<br />The Santa Monica Bay Women's Club has successfully increased membership and programming.<br />The Women's Club of Hollywood is in dire need for membership and funding, but the historic building and club might survive if people realize what value this kind of organization and building brings to the community.<br />Explore any one of their programs and get involved!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-58949356967164174122010-01-06T16:39:46.759-08:002010-01-06T16:39:46.759-08:00Hi, thank you for this narrative.

I'm asking becauss I belong to a theater arts club and we might be interested in renting the hall for one of our events. I remember the interior very well the way it was in the early 90s, when I contra-danced there, but have no idea what it looks like today. Anyway, if you can help me get in touch with the appropriate party, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for whatever clues you can give me.<br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />Paula CPaula Chttp://www.foolsguild.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-65919381817610362162009-01-14T13:12:00.000-08:002009-01-14T13:12:00.000-08:00Another idiot congregation massacring a historic s...Another idiot congregation massacring a historic structure.
