Announcing an Orange County bus tour July 26!

The registration link is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ESDyqEDt-VJNLj_JtV34EGXFailXkhkqNaqh_ibUd8Y/

The plan is to include the Buena Park, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Westminster, and Tustin sites, as well as starting and ending with the Hilbert Museum’s mosaic and sculpture from Santa Monica.

All my previous bus tours have sold out, so I wanted to let you know first. I will also announce it to the Millard Sheets lists soon. (I am also conducting a lecture July 30 at the Hilbert Museum, and a tour for the LA Conservancy on Sunday August 2, as in previous years. They will advertise that in the months ahead.)
