APRIL is a busy month, with a sweet happy hour next week and Heritage Soiree coming up soon. Plus, please save the date for some great events in early May: the Emerging Professionals Event at the CPF Conference on May 3 & the annual Preservation Bowl-O-Rama on May 18.  Read on for details!

 

Soiree Online Auction  

Now through April 14   

 

Support Heritage and get cool stuff through our Soirée silent auction. Have you ever wanted to get inside the historic Moorish Revival-style Armory building in the Mission? Our auction includes a tour for up to 10 people of the inner workings of the historic building turned film studio. Owner Peter Acworth will guide your group on a behind-the-scenes tour, including a look at  Mission Creek in the basement--the only place the waterway can still be seen.

If you're looking for an unparalleled trip this summer, consider bidding on one of our awesome one-week vacation packages: A tranquil Kauai Ranch retreat (where The Descendants was filmed), a Mid-Century Palm Springs adventure, or a serene Tahoe getaway.

 

Visit the auction online to place your bids, and follow along on Facebook to get updates on items!

 

Soiree is Heritage's annual fundraiser, and is a fun fancy affair!  The event is on Saturday, April 14, and tickets are available here.  

 

Call for Volunteers: 2012 CPF Conference

May 3-6, 2012

Oakland, CA  

 

 

The California Preservation Conference is coming to town! The state's preservation professionals will gather in Oakland May 3 - 6 for the California Preservation Foundation's annual conference covering cutting-edge trends in the field. CPF is looking for volunteers to help with registration and event logistics.

 

Educational sessions cover a range of topics such as preservation basics, economic development, new technologies for historic buildings, planning for change, industrial reuse, and preservation in the 21st Century. 

 

Volunteers receive free workshop admission for every event worked. Volunteering is a great way to get access to workshops, tours, and more, so get involved!

 

 

Emerging Professionals Reception @ CPF Conference

Thursday, May 3, 8:30-10:00 pm

Oakland, CA  

   

Even if you're not able to attend the entire CPF conference, the Emerging Professionals Reception is a must-do event. We are hoping to get a great turnout from HeritageYP, so be sure to save the date! Tickets are $15, and can be purchased on theCPF website.  Stay tuned for more details about the exact location.

Also, note that the Emerging Professionals Event will double as the May YP Happy Hour (first Thursday instead of the first Wednesday of the month). 

 

 

SAVE THE DATE: Preservation Bowl-O-Rama   

HeritageYP Bowl 2010 imageFriday, May 18, 7-9 pm    

 

It's that time of year again: the annual Preservation Bowl-O-Rama will take place on May 18 at the Presidio Bowl. Dust off your bowling shoes and start forming your teams.  If you won a trophy last year (congratulations), it's time to bring it out of storage so you can try to win it back this year. 

You'll be able to sign up as teams of 6, or individually. Details to follow soon!
