Mixer for Heritage Organization Professionals on Feb. 7

The City of Tacoma's Historic Preservation Office invites professionals and volunteers in heritage-related fields and organizations to a no-host lunch mixer at noon on Saturday, Feb. 7, at the Harmon Brewery and Eatery (1938 Pacific Ave. in Tacoma).

This mixer will follow the Heritage League of Pierce County’s annual meeting, and is being used to encourage networking and collaboration between local heritage organizations and the Historic Preservation Office. It will also provide an opportunity for attendees to share their 2015 programming.

“Historic buildings represent significant aspects of history,” said Historic Preservation Coordinator Lauren Hoogkamer from the City’s Planning and Development Services Department. “By working with local heritage organizations we can strengthen the relationship between Tacoma’s historic buildings and the heritage they reflect.”

To RSVP, or for more information, about this free event contact Lauren Hoogkamer at lhoogkamer@cityoftacoma.org or call (253) 591-5254.
