Your Gift Matters! Please Support Claremont Heritage with your tax-deductible end of year gift.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS - There are many vital and important causes to remember each year and we hope that Claremont Heritage is on your list of charitable organizations to support.  Claremont's quality of life, beautiful architecture and bucolic environment might not be what it is today without the help of people like you.  Claremont Heritage is proud that we have helped to save some of our iconic structures such as the old Depot, Padua Theatre, Old School House and Packinghouse - we are working hard  to preserve our past for the future.

As we embark on a new adventure in 2015 we are excited about our theme for the year: COMMUNITY - which reflects our strategic plan and mission to advance, preserve and celebrate
the historic architectural, natural and cultural resources of our community through collaboration, education and advocacy.  Please join us on this exciting journey!

Some of the exciting plans in place for 2015 include:

• Nomination of a number of significant architectural landmarks and districts to the National Register of Historic Places.  These include several Millard Sheets designs such as the Garrison Theater (above) as well as the Intercultural Council Housing development in Arbol Verde.
• Continue to digitize our extensive archives and make them accessible to the general public
• Submit properties from the recent past (mid-century) to our local Register of Structures of Historic and Architectural Merit of the City of Claremont which will enable residents to take advantage of preservation tax incentives such as the Mills Act
• Completion of an hour long PBS documentary by filmmaker Paul Bockhorst entitled: Claremont Modern -The Convergence of Art + Architecture at Mid-century
• Start work on a book of the same title featuring the multitude of talent that created the "Claremont School" of art and design in post WWII Claremont
• Continue to collaborate with like-minded organizations
• Hold our annual Gala and award ceremony
• Hold our annual Home Tour Weekend
• Continue to administer the Third-grade Claremont History Program 
• Continue to offer educational programs such as films, symposia and exhibitions and develop new programs around our new focus regarding the natural environment and sustainability
• Continue our walking tours and special "members only" events

We can not achieve any of this without your support - we depend on volunteers and donations to fulfill our mission and goals.  Please consider how you might be a part of celebrating and preserving our history by partnering with Claremont Heritage in 2015.  You CAN help make a difference in our community - We would be happy to show you how! 

Best wishes to you and your family this holiday season,

David L. Shearer
