Our Expansion Project
As of November 2020, our expansion plans are moving along. We await the plan check due in December 2020. Our members and friends have been generously covering the $100,000 plus costs that have been incurred to obtain a successful plan check.
Moving forward with the expansion, we ask for your donations to our building fund. We are still on target for the original projected cost of $1.25 million. We are a third of the way there! Please help the preservation of the history of the Pleasant Valley to become a reality.
At this time an ad hoc committee is pursuing various strategies for a major fund raising campaign. Suggestions are welcome.
You may use the donate button on this website (pvhsonline.org), or mail your contribution the PVHS Building Fund, P.O.Box 570, Camarillo, 93011
