In 1903 an influential group of women formed the Highland Park Ebell Club, and when the elite women's organization opened a clubhouse ten years later, more than 20,000 people attended the colorful ceremonies.
One of the first causes championed by the local women was the preservation of the land around the Arroyo Seco as a park, and it remains a park today.

Cheryl .... If you'd like any of my Localism history, etc. stuff in the group, I'll happily add it. :-) Ladies Night Tea should be fun.
bring it all, a 5th place to post, I know it is not a large group but it is diverse and bit of an overview of 'what is out there' . I have you on my dash too so I will get around to see what you are interested in but the group is easier for me to sneak in and read. be good cw
