California State Senator Ben Allen, who represents Senate District 24, addressed the Rotary Club of Beverly Hills luncheon on March 30. Allen will term out this year and is now running for California Insurance Commissioner. Nearly a dozen candidates are running for his State Senate seat in the primary including Beverly Hills resident and business owner Brian Goldsmith, who was present at the March 30 Rotary Club event.
The Rotary Club luncheon began with a tribute led by Bruce Meyer to the late historian, author and philanthropist Robbie Anderson. Meyer announced that the Anderson family will graciously continue the generous support of the organization established by Robbie. Allen began his remarks by acknowledging that Anderson’s book, “Beverly Hills: The First 100 Years” has always held a place of honor in his home.
