Bates House, Palm Desert - Dec. 12 Proclamation Hi Christian Perfect timing with this email. I would like for the City to do a Proclamation for the Bates House - and present it on December 12, at 4pm It would be really wonderful if all of you could be there to accept it. We will also be doing one for the Historical Society of Palm Desert, which was very instrumental with the "Save the Wave House" campaign. I imagine the Cultural Preservation Committee will want to be there as well - you met them many months ago. As Lauri said in her recent e-mail to you, we are all so very excited and pleased with the project, and the "Fame" it is bringing to Palm Desert. I cannot imagine this project would have ever been so successful, without your special team I will look forward to hearing from you, that you will be able to accept a Proclamation on Dec. 12. Thank you again - for becoming part of our Community!
