Hello from Carole Choucair Oueijan... Saturday was a beautiful day at the Huntington Library! The weather was amazing as was the company of the HOL Artists and HOL Young Professionals... We had 28 guests attending this trip two of them, Youssef and Ziad, came all the way from San Jose to
join us! Our first stop was at the North Vista /Camellias to take our group picture (Not everyone was

We then visited Sam Maloof's work at the Boone gallery. After that we went to eat lunch at the Rose
