To continue our mission to present best practices to the practicing preservation professional, encourage student involvement and integration into the professions, employ the latest internet and social media tools to maintain communications, bring craftspeople and designers together to share our knowledge, and expand our service to the western region we represent, we have migrated to a paid membership model. This has enhanced our capacity to provide events and to include more providers.
PayPal is our payment provider. PayPal accepts credit card payments without a PayPal account at their secure website. If you want to pay by check, please mail the check to Mark Huck, WCAPT Membership, 1430 T Street, Sacramento CA 95811 and it will be processed promptly. You will receive an email confirmation of membership.

The membership level must be manually changed to the discounted option by the Webmaster, so request an APTI discount by emailing joinwcapt@me.com. Remember to renew or join APTI also, our membership calendar is the same as theirs.
WCAPT has served the preservation community since 1982 and has enjoyed broad support from our members during that time. We hope that you have enjoyed the recent improvements to our Association in the form of a current web site, automated event and member announcements and payments, and an active event agenda both alone and with our preservation partners around the region.

WCAPT held their 2014 Annual Meeting Saturday May 10, which featured two exciting tours! This year we met in Southern California, in Los Angeles at the recently renovated Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles, formerly the United Artists Theatre. The theatre was built in 1927 and originally designed after the Segovia Cathedral in Spain. It has been adaptively rehabilitated as a hotel by GREC Architects and Commune Design.  
The Annual meeting began at the hotel in the Segovia Hall at 2 PM. At the conclusion of the Annual meeting a tour of the hote followed, with a presentation of its rehabilitation afterward. A very nice wine reception capped the afternoon. WCAPT also sponsored a guided tour of the exterior of the Ray and Charles Eames House in Pacific Palisades. Conservation work to the house was described during the tour.
