descendents of Spanish Alta Californians formed Los Californianos in anticipation of the
bicentennial year of the discovery of San Francisco Bay in 1769 by the expedition led by Don
Gaspar de Portola. Los Californianos was created for the purpose of preserving the heritage of
the early Hispanic Californians in Alta California by conducting research on genealogy and civil,
religious, military, social and cultural activities in Alta California in order to provide an accurate
and authentic oral, written and pictorial interpretation of the history of Spanish and Mexican Alta
California”.
Upon receipt of this donation, the Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously recommended
acceptance by the City Council.

Dear Mr. Price:
The Los Californianos thank you and the City of Carl&ad for your favorable response to
our request for the April 29,200O tours of the Carrillo Ranch. With the help of the
Friends of Carrillo Ranch and Los Ca.l5ornianos member, Wayne Donaldson, the tours
went very well. The participants were impressed with the potential of the mture park. We
are confidant that the City will produce a showpiece reflecting the Hispanic heritage of
California and the memory of that extraordinary native son, Leo Carrillo.
Our organization is proud to provide the included check for $525 to the Carrillo Ranch
Trust Fund. This represents donations from the seventy-five tour participants.
We would also like to take the opportunity to let you know of the hospitality given our
group by Michael Bliss and his family. They are obviously very dedicated to the Ranch
and its future.
Again our thanks.
Sincerely,
George and B&a Gray
