IMAGINE...The SCOUT HOUSE As Carmel-by-the-Sea's "COMMUNITY CENTER" Once Again

  The Holman Ranch Location: Carmel Valley, CA. Built in 1928; "Converted to a Guest Ranch in the 1940s by Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holman, Monterey Peninsula "civic leaders." Site of the Carmel Preservation Foundation's "SAVE THE SCOUT HOUSE" Calm Bake, Sunday, 12 November 2006.  "IMAGINE... The Holman Ranch is more than the perfect setting for any special event. It’s a place where anything and everything can happen. Just imagine.” (Source: The Holman Ranch Brochure) Atop an oak-studded hill on 400 bucolic acres in Carmel Valley, the Carmel Preservation Foundation fittingly chose as its site for its “SAVE THE SCOUT HOUSE” Clam Bake The Holman Ranch. Yesterday, Sunday, 12 November 2006, approximately 60 concerned individuals came together to share their thoughts about the future fate of Carmel-by-the-Sea’s beloved Scout House. After presentations from Ken White (Carmel-by-the-Sea Mayor, 1992-2000), Linda Anderson (Carmel Residents Association, Board of Directors) and Enid Sales (President, Carmel Preservation Foundation), and a wide-ranging discussion, a unanimous consensus was achieved; a consensus to act to restore Carmel-by-the-Sea’s historic Scout House to its original purpose as THE “Community Center” for user groups. ACT NOW...please contact Enid Sales (625-0566), Ken White (624-4538), Don Hilburn (626-9369), Mike Brown (624-3790 or 625-2299), Hans Lehmann (624-0540) and/or Barbara Livingston (626-1610) for information on how you can act to make the Scout House a vibrant, fully functional “Community Center” for Carmel-by-the-Sea once again!
