Because of our expanding membership and related administrative issues, HRPS has decided to change its membership period to a fiscal-year cycle. All memberships will run from July 1st through June 30th of the following year.

In order to move our members to this cycle, everyone joining or renewing before July 1st will receive extra time on their memberships. Your 2009-2010 dues will not be due until July 1, 2009.

You should have received either an email or a postcard if you are past due, but if you have questions regarding your membership status, you may call membership chair Gordon Foote at 348-6455 or send him an email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Wednesday, January 28, 2009: The Style Tells the Story

Mella Rothwell Harmon, Curator of History at the Nevada Historical Society and an architectural historian presents a slide show on how architecture reflects broad social trends and local community values. The program will take a look at Reno's history through the lens of its architectural heritage. If you are architecturally challenged and are trying to figure out the style of a local building, bring along a photo example and try to stump the architectural historian.
