From the President Bonnie Jo Cullison

As many of you know the Point Richmond History Association has a formal meeting of its membership once a year. The meeting begins with a brief business segment at which officers for the upcoming year are elected, a financial statement is given and a quick review of the past year’s activities is presented. The meeting is also an opportunity for members and non-members to provide input to the Board of the PRHA. Anyone can attend the meeting whether or not one is a PRHA member although only members can vote.
Following the business segment is a program pertaining to some aspect of the history of the Point Richmond area. This year we are very pleased that Mayor Tom Butt has agreed to talk to us about the once colorful and lively (and sometimes shady) history of Point San Pablo. Point San Pablo is not a particularly visible area either geographically or historically to most of us so this will be an excellent opportunity to expand our awareness of how the past life of a neighboring area might have impacted Point Richmond itself.
This year the Annual Meeting is on Sunday, June 2 at 2:00. Bring your friends and neighbors. Everyone is welcome!
