The main focus of GALA is social. Along with our monthly pot luck business meetings, our members get together for movies, trips to various historic sights, dinners out, antique and flea market jaunts, weekend trips to northern Michigan, concerts and many gay and lesbian sponsored events. While GALA is primarily a social organization, we take very seriously our responsibility to help maintain the historic district in which we live. Many of our members volunteer as tour guides and docents at the Hotel Florence and Pullman Visitor Center, open their homes during the annual House Tour and are even members of the board of the Historic Pullman Foundation. Since it's inception, GALA has taken on the task of keeping 111th Street and portions of Cottage Grove Avenue free of litter and trash and in the maintaining the north gardens of the Hotel Florence.
New members are always welcome.
The Beman Committee - A standing committee of the Pullman Civic Organization, the Beman Committee was formed in 1968 to research and document the history of the Pullman community, a necessary step in the acquisition of the various landmark designations. The research continues and is made available to homeowners and other interested parties to aid in the restoration and appreciation of their Pullman homes. Preservation architect Charles Gregersen chairs the committee. Information contained in these pages is deemed reliable. BUT it is in no way guaranteed accurate.
