Los Angeles, California
The first European visitors to the area were Spaniards,
and the names they gave the place seem ironic given
perceptions of the city today. In 1542, Juan Rodriguez
Cabrillo first sailed along the coast. The local Tongva
people paddled out to meet him. Seeing the haze of
their campfires over what is now called Santa Monica
Bay, he named it Bay of Smoke. In 1769, Gaspar de
Portola’s overland expedition first reached the area,
and named it San Miguel de los Temblores (Saint
Michael of the Temblors) because of earthquakes they
felt during their visit. In 1771, Fathers Cambon and
Somera founded the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel,
the fourth of 21 California missions built from 1769 to
1823, which were established by Father Junipero Serra
to claim and settle the land.
In 1781 settlers from what is now Mexico were
recruited to found a city near the mission. They called
it El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angels
del Rio de Prociuncula, or LA for short.
To the north of downtown LA in the San Fernando
Valley sits the mission which gave the valley its name
- Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana, a major supplier
of food and supplies to the growing pueblo. In 1822
the citizens of El Pueblo learned of Mexico’s revolution
and swore allegiance to the new country. In 1846 the
Mexican American War began and U.S. troops took Los
Angeles the following year. This led to the signing of
the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo in 1848 that formally
ended the war, ceding California and Texas to the
United States.
Downtown, where Los Angeles began as a mission
site more than two centuries ago, is the heart of it
all. It offers an incredible cultural experience with
the unique Music Center. The newest venue is the
Walt Disney Concert Hall, home of Los Angeles
Philharmonic. Downtown’s new Cathedral of Our Lady
of the Angels, the largest cathedral in the western U.S.,
is an awesome work of art. Minutes away are living
testaments to the rich diversity of the area: Chinatown,
Koreatown, Little Tokyo and Olvera Street.
Los Angeles County has a population of 9.5 million
people and is 4,061 square miles that includes both
desert and mountain terrain and 81 miles of coastline.
Eighty-eight cities are incorporated in the county,
ranging in size from Vernon (population 100) to Los
Angeles (population 3.7 million). Tourism is the second
largest revenue producer of the Los Angeles County
economy, supporting approximately 314,200 full-time
equivalent jobs. Los Angeles County is the home to 158
colleges and universities.
California is the leading supplier of entertainment
to the world. The film and TV industry employs
approximately 246,600 people in LA.
Los Angeles Weather
Los Angeles enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate moderate temperatures with low humidity year-round.
Average temperatures in October are high of 78 °F and
low of 59 °F.
Transportation to Los Angeles and the
Millennium Biltmore Hotel
Los Angeles International Airport is one of the busiest
international airports in the world. If you can’t get
a flight into it, you must live on another planet. The
airport code is LAX. The Millennium Biltmore is located
at 506 South Grand Avenue, across the street from
Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles.
The Super Shuttle (800-730-9267) operates 24 hours
daily. It has dark blue vans that stop outside every
baggage claim area. It costs $15 per person one-way.
It will take you 45 minutes to one hour to travel
from the airport to the Biltmore. Reservations are
not needed. You can check in at any of the airport’s
baggage claim levels.
Yellow Taxi Company provides transportation from the
airport to the Biltmore for a flat rate of $41.50 per
person. Cabs are located outside the baggage claim
area. It is about a 30-minute cab ride from LAX to the
Biltmore.
The Metro Rail System runs from the airport to
Pershing Square station, two blocks from the Biltmore.
The cost of the METRO is $3.00. An airport shuttle
will take you to the “G” Aviation Train Station. There
you should take the Green (G) Line to Rosa Parks Exit
where you must transfer to the Blue (B) Line. From
there you travel about 10 stops and transfer to the
Red (R) Line. Then travel one stop to Pershing Square.
When you get off you will have a two-block walk to
the Biltmore. There are no luggage racks on the Trains.
(Your meeting planner does NOT suggest this mode of
transportation!)
Complimentary valet parking has been negotiated for
Biltmore hotel guests.

The Millennium Biltmore Hotel
has been a downtown landmark
since it opened its doors in 1923. It
reflects a rich blending of classical
architecture with contemporary
luxury... and the elegance of
European hospitality. Designed
in the style of the Spanish Italian
Renaissance, the hotel opened in
1923 to national acclaim, and was
designated a Historical Cultural
Landmark in 1969.
The 11 story structure was designed
by the same architectural firm that
designed the New York Waldorf
Astoria. The cathedral-like public
room ceilings are hand-painted.
Touted as the “host of the
coast” from the beginning, the
Biltmore became the place to be
for Los Angeles high society, film
industry czars and stars. Among
the momentous events held at
the Biltmore was the founding
banquet for the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It
was at the dinner on May 11, 1927
that the concept and design for the
“Oscar” was conceived. A statue
was sketched on a napkin during a
Crystal Ballroom banquet marking
the occasion. John Kennedy
established his headquarters during
the 1960 Democratic National
Convention in the hotel’s Music
Room (now the lobby).

Night Event
TUTANKHAMUN - and the Golden
Age of the Pharaohs
A National Geographic Exhibition
Los Angeles County Museum of
Art (LACMA)
Saturday, October 15th
6 - 9 p.m.
Meet in the Biltmore Lobby
at 6 p.m.
On November 26, 1922 the tomb of
King Tutankhamun was discovered,
unlocking the most precious
treasures the world had ever seen.
In 1978, millions of Americans
marveled at the treasures of King
Tut in an unprecedented museum
exhibition that would become the
most highly attended traveling
museum exhibition ever. By its time
of closing over 8 million people
had visited the King Tut exhibit.
For the first time in over 25
years, King Tut’s treasurers have
left Egypt for America for the
last time. Los Angeles is the only
West Coast stop for this four-city
US tour. This is your once in a
lifetime opportunity to get “up
close and personal” with King Tut!
TUTANKHAMUN - and the Golden
Age of the Pharaohs will explore
the history of the “Boy King,” from
his beginnings in Ancient Egypt
to the dramatic 1922 discovery of
the tomb by Howard Carter. The
exhibit will also feature artifacts
and information from today’s
Valley of the Kings, with new
secrets being revealed through
innovative technology. National
Geographic will complement
the exhibit with its most current
research and content
including a companion
book. A film by National
6
NOW
SHOWING
Geographic will reveal fresh
images of Tutankhamun’s body
through state-of-the-art scanning
technology, perhaps providing
answers as to the actual cause of
his death.
The King Tut Exhibit will be in Los
Angeles during our meeting. We
have obtained eighty (80) tickets
for the 7 p.m. tour on Saturday
evening. In addition, you will
be given audio tour equipment
narrated by Omar Sharif, to
perfectly complement your Tut
experience. The audio tour will be
your guide to this extraordinary
exhibit. Exhibition visits are
approximately 1 and 1/2 hours.
Deluxe motor coaches will take you
to the exhibit and return you to
the hotel at 9 p.m. NO dinner has
been scheduled with this event,
as we will not return to the hotel
until 9 p.m. You will then be free
to make your own dinner plans or
retire early.
Dressy casual attire and
comfortable walking shoes
are suggested.
Cost is $60 per person.
Register early, as reservations are
limited to 80 people. Reservations
are accepted on a first-come basis.

The Getty Center and Lunch

Sunday, Oct. 16th
9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
at 9:20 a.m.
The Getty Center is a grand
structure located on the hill
overlooking West Los Angeles.
The Richard Meier-designed Getty
Center took 15 years of planning
and construction, and at least one
billion dollars to become reality.
The Getty Trust is the curator
for the collection that focuses
on antiquities from Greece and
Rome, Renaissance and Baroque
paintings from Europe and 18th
Century decorative arts from
France. The galleries are divided
among five unique buildings
each featuring a chronological
collection of paintings, drawings,
sculpture, manuscripts, artifacts
and photographs. Among Getty’s
highlights are works by Vincent
Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Monet,
Manet, Renoir and Cezanne.
In addition to the extensive art
collection housed at the Center,
there is a beautiful garden
overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It
is circular in design and leads to a
serene area to sit and reflect on
your surroundings among over 500
species of plants.
The Getty Center features a
30-45 minute optional guided
architectural tour, which provides
an opportunity for you to explore
and discuss the architecture of
the Getty Center. Another option
is the 45-55 minute garden tour,
which begins with an overview of
the layout of the Getty Center and
then will focus on the site’s four
planting zones. Sign ups for all
tours are taken on site.
After visiting the Getty, enjoy a
drive to the coast for lunch in
Malibu overlooking the vast Pacific
Ocean and sweeping coastline at
Gladstone’s Malibu restaurant.
After lunch we will drive south
along the Pacific Coast Highway to
see the white sandy beaches and
world famous Santa Monica pier
before returning to the hotel.
Casual attire and comfortable
walking shoes are suggested. Cost
for the full day excursion is $100 per
person - includes Oceanside lunch.
Register early, as reservations are
limited. Reservations are accepted
on a first-come basis. Make your
