CHAMBER HONORS JAMES BOZAJIAN
Each year, the Calabasas Chamber proudly bestows the Bill Van Gieson “Spirit of Calabasas” Award to reflect the pioneering spirit, exceptional initiative and outstanding contributions to the community in memory of Bill Van Gieson, who is remembered for his creative leadership in developing Chamber activities.

This year’s award goes to James Bozajian, 3-term Council Member and twice Mayor of the City of Calabasas. James is a 15-year Calabasas Chamber member and has built a career as a Los Angeles County District Attorney. His interest in teen justice serves our young people through Teen Court. His respect for history helped create the Historic Preservation Ordinance and Commission. His appreciation for the natural environment of our area led to an important open space and public lands preservation ordinance and major land acquisition efforts by the city. James demonstrates the best of public service and support of business community development through Chamber and City initiatives.

James is a native Californian and has lived and volunteered in the Calabasas community for many years. Chamber President and CEO, Carol Washburn, has described James by saying, “James’s greatest attributes are his devotion to the people of Calabasas, knowledge of the needs and interests of the many constituent groups in the region and his engagement in the operations of the city.”

It is with great pride that the Calabasas Chamber of Commerce awards James Bozajian with the Bill Van Gieson “Spirit of Calabasas” Award. The presentation of the Award will take place at the Chamber’s February 25th Luncheon program at the Calabasas Civic Center, Founders Hall.

VISITING.... WITH HUELL HOWSER IN CALABASAS!
Popular television personality Huell Howser visited the Leonis Adobe Museum to film a segment of “Visiting…with Huell Howser.”

Leonis Adobe Museum veterinarian Dr. Michael Giacopuzzi and his wife Cheryl receive an autographed CD from Huell Howser.

The Sagebrush Cantina hosted the Premier Kickoff Party and showed the first segment of the show. Huell Howser Specials were served and the evening wrapped up with music by Graywolf’s award winning blues band.

The "VISITING" series takes us to the many diverse neighborhoods of Southern California, and introduces us to the people who live there. "VISITING" has captured the spirit of the Southland with episodes ranging from a look at how menudo is made to the celebration surrounding the rededication of Angeles Flight. LA Times critic Howard Rosenberg calls his style "Intimate, magnificently unslick, utterly charming, and absolutely irresistible." VISITING With HUELL HOWSER continues to be one of the most popular programs on KCET - PBS Los Angeles.
