   Named to the group’s executive committee were treasurer Lu Artz, membership chair Marcia Carter, PR/secretary Rufus Baker, at large delegate Christina Chan, Waner and Bauer. 
   At its August 4 meeting, the board voted support for a St. Monica’s Church plan to demolish a residential building at 1140 Seventh Street in order to make way for a church parking lot, approved historic landmark designations for three craftsman houses in the 900 block of Lincoln and also voted for a preferential parking district to cover the entire Wilshire/Montana neighborhood. 
   Its next meeting is set for Wednesday, September 1, at 7 p.m. in the Ken Edwards Center. 
   Founded in 1988, Wilshire/Montana receives some financial support from the City. It is open to anyone with an interest in the area.
