Old Society Newsletters
Posted
It's fun to go through some of our newsletters and
see what the Society was doing during the 1980s
and 90s (and also who was preserving what home
and received various awards). We've posted
most of the issues (including our first 4) on
this site. Some files are large (6 to 11
MB in size), but they're all easily viewable as
PDF files.

Celebrating Thirty Eight Years of
Preserving Our Fair City! |
In 1974, the Society was formed to save the
Dr. Howe-Waffle House from imminent destruction during an urban renewal project. Today, the Society is stronger than ever thanks to our members and generous donors. We
continue to create community programs such as
the award-winning historical cemetery tour,
salvage old-home building materials for reuse,
develop local history coloring books & guide maps
for children and adults, feature special seminars,
and support preservation activities performed
by others throughout the city and county. Of
course, one of our main missions (and expense)
is to preserve and maintain the Dr.
Howe-Waffle House and we open the House on a regular basis.
In addition, we also support Santa Ana and
Early Orange County history by providing historical information
and photos online 24 hours a day, continue to
create new series of historical mini-books, and
so much more. |

Time to Join the Society! |
We can do the neat things we do in preserving and celebrating our history because we have members who support us. Please consider joining and helping us. No membership level is too low. But the more you give, the easier it is for us to continue our work and to do new things.
We urge you to help us either as a volunteer or as a member. Obviously donations are always appreciated and can be designated to help a program, provide care for the house, or just help with our normal expenses.
Click here for information on membership and donations.
The house is located at 120 Civic Center Dr., West, corner of Sycamore and between Main and Broadway, in Historic Downtown Santa Ana. Call 714 547-9645 for more information. |
