Welcome to HRPS
From Your HRPS President - Spring 2012

flowersIt's spring and I'm happy to report that your HRPS Board met recently for its annual Strategic Planning session. Happy…and weary too, because there is so much intelligence, caring and insight at these sessions that it's hard to keep up with all the enthusiasm!

Our Strategic Planning meeting began with a review of our 2011-12 goals and we were pleased to see how many of our plans were realized: the successful launch of the Neighborhood Preservation Fund, a careful revision of our Bylaws, the creation of the Advocacy Advisory Board, record-breaking numbers at our monthly programs and tours and a strengthened relationship with historic preservation interns. All of these are good, but that isn't all.

Neal Cobb, Reno in the 1950s-1960s

Neal will lead us on a virtual tour of Reno in the 1950s and 1960s with photographs of the outside of the Crest Theater then inside to the candy counter, the Majestic Theatre, Lawton's Hot Springs, the Christmas Tree Lodge with Clancy the St. Bernard, the Prima Donna girls, Welsh's bakery, the Little Waldorf, and many more.

Note: This meeting constitutes our annual meeting. Members will be asked to vote on new board members and changes to the by-laws.
