Dear Santa Monica Pier - Pacific Park,

What is home? Is home a memory, a place, the people, sharing or self-defined?  This year, Rancho Los Cerritos is delighted to celebrate the idea of home at our annual gala, Rancho Los Cerritos 2022 Gala - Sharing Stories of Home, on Saturday, September 24, 2022, inspired by our current exhibit, Roots in California: Concepts of Home (Raices en California: Conceptos de Hogar).

Rancho Los Cerritos 2022 Gala - Sharing Stories of Home will be a special evening that brings together guests from the community for a night of dining, entertainment, and a silent and live auciton in the Rancho gardens.  It is because of your commitment to the community that we would like to invite you to consider contributing an in-kind donation.

Your in-kind donation will be supporting the ongoing preservation of our beloved adobe home and gardens.  As the first home in Long Beach, this National, State and Local Historic Landmark is a place where we listen, honor and share stories of our diverse history.

We ar grateful for your consideration and look forward to your reply.  

With gratitude,

Susan Anderson Wise and Christina Pizarro Winting
