Member Meeting
May 18
Mark May 18 on your calendar! That
is the date of the Historic Preservation
League's annual open house and meeting
for members at the Arnold House, 2902
Swiss Avenue. The open house should be-
gin about 6:45 p.m. with refreshments. It
will be an excellent opportunity to net-
work with others who are interested in
and working for the preservation cause.
And most importantly, members will
formally elect Trustees to fill vacancies on
the 1992-93 Board of Trustees. Trustees
elected at this meeting will serve a three-
v~ar term, which begins on July 1.
New officers will be introduced at the
open house as well. The officers will beSunday in the Cemetery, one of the
Historic Preservation League's most
unique and popular annual events, will
be held at the Temple Emanu-El Cemetery
from 2 to 4 p.m. on May 17. The cemetery
is at Lemmon and Central. The public is
invited, and we hope members of the
League attend in record numbers, too. Re-

elected by the current Board of Trustees,
who will meet at 5:30 p.m. before the
open house.Established in 1884, Emanu-El Cem-
etery has a Texas Historical Marker.
"Emanu-El Cemetery has some ex-
tremely interesting and different head-
stones and private mausoleums," says
League Historian Frances James. "This is
the resting place for some of Dallas' most
notable early merchants, including the
Sangers, E. M. Kahn, members of the
Marcus family, and more."
The Historic Preservation League,
says Frances, held last year's event at the
Crown Hill Mausoleum, a Dallas land-
mark, and feel this year's Cemetery Sun-
day at Emanu-El should be as well at-
tended.
To call attention to the City's historic
cemeteries and to make the public aware
of the importance of their preservation are
reasons, says Frances, why the League
sponsors this event with the Dallas
County Historical Commission.

office (821-3290).
