Friendsgiving Success!
and a Matching Gift Challenge
What a turnout for our Friendsgiving Celebration on Tuesday at Unit B! The room was packed with new and familiar faces, all gathered to celebrate a banner year for our organization. The food, drinks, and live music by Glorieta Pines made for an incredible evening.
We were thrilled to recognize and thank our many donors, volunteers, community partners, event sponsors, and participants. We were also excited to welcome our two newest board members, Dena Kennett and Rajah Bose, and to extend our deep appreciation to our departing operations manager, Lila Pickus.
This year, our ReVISION Series traced how the Santa Fe Style has evolved—showing how the city once used history to imagine its future, invent new forms, and reshape its built environment to meet big challenges. As we confront the housing crisis and undertake the first general plan and zoning update in nearly thirty years, it’s crucial to revive this optimism and demonstrate how design and preservation can help shape a better future. Look for more engaging talks, tours, discussions, and other Friends events in the new year.
