Ocean View Farms 30th Anniversary Gala

We could not have had a more perfect day for our 30th Anniversary Gala held on Saturday, April 8th, 2006.

Approximately 200 guests: both present and former garden members, including 5 founding members; neighbors; family and friends were able to join us along with our very special guest speakers: Los Angeles 11th District councilman Bill Rosendahl; Westside Area Representative John Brady from the Office of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Howard Putnam, Senior Park Supervisor from the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended for your support on Saturday and to all of those who have helped to make Ocean View Farms such a very, very special place for the past 30 years

Virtual Respect,

Francis W. Harris
President
