Pasadena’s Huntington Westerners will be holding its monthly meeting on Saturday, November 7th, 12:30 p.m. at the Women’s City Club at 160 North Oakland Street in Pasadena.
Local authors Eric Warren and Frank Parrello will speak about how Eagle Rock started from Rancho San Rafael as a hilly farming community north of downtown Los Angeles, and rapidly grew into a city.
Today, Eagle Rock is one of LA’s most distinctive neighborhoods and a pride instilled by early settlers remains there.
Warren and Parrello will also profile the bedrock personalities who built Eagle Rock. These inspirational settlers include soldier and ranchero Jose Maria Verdugo, diarist and historian Elena Frackelton Murdock, farmer and amateur hydrologist Mayor Cromwell Galpin and publicist Ann Hare Harrison.
Cost for the luncheon is $25 per person, which includes dessert.
Advance reservations are required by Wednesday, November 4th, and payment is taken at the door. A vegetarian lunch option is available with the advance reservation. Beer and wine will be available for purchase.
To make your reservation, call Carol Criqui at (626) 345-9069 or email her at [email protected].
Parking access is behind the Women’s City Club through Madison Street, the second driveway south of Walnut. ?
