2024 General Meeting - February 18th, 6pm
​BIGGEST CROWD EVER ATTENDS
OTPA 38TH ANNUAL MEETING

FEBRUARY 18, 2024:  The 2024 Membership Business Meeting of the Old Towne Preservation Association featured an exclusive Sneak Preview tour of the expanded Hilbert Museum of California Art, hosted by Museum Director Mary Platt.
 
In welcoming remarks, Orange Mayor and former OTPA President Dan Slater thanked OTPA for calling attention to the newly designed Hilbert Museum, and said it helps in making Orange the art center of the county.
 
OTPA President Rob Boice gave the “State of OTPA” annual report and pledged a vigorous focus on preserving Old Towne’s historic character.  “The unique charm of Old Towne is the reason our property value is so high,” he said.
 
Mayor Pro-Tem and Old Towne resident Arianna Barrios excited the crowd with her passion for preserving Old Towne and encouraged everyone to become an active member.

​Boice reported that OTPA’s membership has never been bigger, its finances never stronger, and its community outreach never more active.

He invited members to attend the association’s 9th annual State of Old Towne Forum in City Hall on April 3rd, and its 28th annual Preservation Awards Garden Party & Dinner Gala at the Woman’s Club on Sunday, May 19th.
