Old Business:
1. Old Archive Jitze put the scrapbooks to one side for a moment in favor of processing old Town News
Letters- Jitze has now completed approximately 18, and only 47 or so more to go. This wil l be on via the
WEB ( this collection will take us up to September 1993).
2. Oral History Project, Los Altos Hills resident Feinwick was completed.
3. Street names, Deborah Padovan has linked the street names but is asking for more history information
to be put at out such as pictures etc.
4. Collection of Current History information-Mary Ann Malcolm contacted the Town Crier talk with Eliza
who does data base information for the Crier. The Crier has an open Internet data base which goes back
to 1994. We can get all of our article information off the open Internet data base.Goggle uses this data
base per Eliza for data.
Maryann suggested we have Joe Heinrich (who works for Goggle) to get the information off the Crier’s
data base and into the History Data Base. This information was given to Jitze. This would illuminate no
more physical needs to cut articles and put into folders.
5. Shed and Farm Equipment-Gary Waldeck was going to put us down for a council meeting in August.
Rich Larsen will reschedule this presentation on the Shed and Farm equipment for Sept or Oct 2014
council meeting.
Maryann Malcolm to work with Richard Chiu to get a plan (blue print) lay out of equipment, shed,
labeling of the equipment and pathway access to the equipment.
6. Preservation of Historical Landmarks of Interest. The Historical Site 10 already present at St. Lukes
Chapel in the Hills.
Maryann received an email from LeeAnn who would like to pursue a Historical Plaque, and for this church
to become Historical. This site was where Los Altos Hills became incorporated 1956. It was the heart of
the Town. Carol Crites to work on this. Maryann gave email copy to Carol Crites.
7. September Event: The Packard Event will be on September 21, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00. Mary Ann
