This is an event sponsored by the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation (not Pete Moruzzi's PS Modern Commitee). They did the Alexander weekend (modern architect in PS) last year which was very nice. I don't know much about it other than that I am signing my book there. This is a FUNDRAISER, obviously:
