OTPA President Rob Boice, one of OTPA's original founders, welcomed and pledged that every activity undertaken by OTPA would be dedicated to its mission of protecting and preserving the tapestry of historic homes and structures in Old Towne, the largest Residential Historic District in California.
District One Councilmember Arianna Barrios was the special speaker at the January 16th meeting. Her father, Russ Barrios, was another of OTPA’s original founders.
“I grew up listening to neighbors gathered around our dining room table planning how to form the Old Town Preservation Association, and how to save Old Towne’s historic heritage,” Arianna reflected.
