Guess Who's Coming to the Ranch?
The countdown has begun! If you were awake in the wee hours of September 30th, you might have seen the 4.1 ton boulder being installed in the North Village Park. It will wait there patiently for its permanent resident, the bronze likeness of Miss Lilian J. Rice, master architect of the Ranch. Join us for her unveiling on Saturday, October 23rd at 5:30pm, followed by the Roaring 20's Gala at 6:00pm. This will be the only public art of Lilian Rice in the Ranch. Don't miss this historic event!
Purchase your tickets or table now for our Roaring 20’s Gala featuring live music, dancing, Speakeasy and a secret "Lilian" cocktail.

Cocktails begin at 6:00pm and dinner starts at 7:00pm. Tickets are $250 per person. Limited seats are available, so click here to reserve yours.

Final Speaker Series of the Year Sells Out
Thank you to member and local resident Fred Grand for his riveting presentation on the 10,000 year history of the earliest inhabitants of the San Dieguito River Valley. This was a sold-out event, and even the local power outage that day didn't stop the lecture. Once again Steve Staus with Park West generously provided pastries to feed our guests, along with coffee and croissants from Caffe Positano. Thank you to everyone who attended one or more of our presentations this season. We look forward to bringing you more educational events soon.
Historic Osuna Adobe
Don't miss your chance to visit the historic Osuna Adobe! On October 17th you can attend the Ninth Annual Adobe Home Tour. On November 7th meet up with friends and neighbors to "Celebrate Osuna," where RSF residents and their guests will be able to tour the Adobe and its grounds.

Volunteer docents are still needed for both events. Training will be provided. To help with Celebrate Osuna, please email Cassandra Ricks at the Association. To help out with the Adobe Home Tour you can email Valorie McClelland.

The Roaring 20's Endures

Everyone loves a good party, and there's something about a Roaring 20's theme that has captured the imaginations of all generations since that time. As you search for that perfect fashion ensemble to celebrate with us at the Roaring 20's Gala on October 23rd, enjoy the looks captured in 1963 with the Garden Club Fashion Show and those recreated by the Lilian Rice Photo Shoot Team, below. This group of professionals volunteered their time to capture today's interpretation of how Lilian and her friends might have dressed for a celebration.
RSFHS Says Goodbye to Roger K. Lindland
1932-2021

Last month we lost our good friend, Roger K. Lindland. Roger was a dedicated member of Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society, serving on our Board of Directors until this past December. He also was our de facto artist-in-residence, always ready to style a communication or illustrate a display. Roger was an accomplished artist and collaborated with RSFHS on "A Rancho Santa Fe Sketchbook: An Artist's View of Life in the Ranch," which contains 85 original watercolors of the Ranch and surrounding areas. We feel lucky he was able to capture these images in his warm and whimsical style for us. Roger also brought years of successful business experience to RSFHS, and dedicated many volunteer hours to making sure we had the funding and visibility necessary to make this organization thrive. Roger was dedicated to the mission of RSFHS and to making our community a better place. Roger leaves behind his beloved wife, Doris, and their friends and family. We extend to them our deepest condolences on the loss of this great man.
