The oldest women's club in Los Angeles was founded in the heyday of 1927, the year Lindbergh flew the Atlantic. The gorgeous Ebell building complex remains one of the most beautiful architectural and historical gems in Los Angeles with its famous auditorium-theatre (The Wilshire-Ebell), its tranquil garden, lush banquet hall and reception areas, and various art treasures. Carol is a new member but from the start has been impressed with the warm welcome she has received and the members' sincere interest in art, ecology and community involvement, and is glad to see that the membership bridges most of the ethnicities in this great melting-pot city.

And so it is that scores of members and guests enjoyed a gala lunch celebrating eighty successful years during which the primary goals of this organization have been moved forward:

  1. Historical preservation and restoration of the beautiful Ebell complex,
  2. strong commitment to arts & culture enrichment of Los Angeles and environs, and
  3. philanthropic work for a variety of needs throughout the community, state and country.

Happy 80th, La Belle Ebell! You don't look a day over sixty!
