Plummer Park extends from Santa Monica on the south to Fountain Ave. on the north. There are parking lots off both streets but the Community Center is closer to Santa Monica Blvd.
Meeting Topic: Scripting InDesign...from the Ground Up
Max Dunn will explore the power of InDesign scripting from several angles: (1) how to run scripts and use scripting even if you are a non-technical designer, (2) how to get started scripting if you want to extend InDesign yourself, and (3) how scripting is used in diverse publishing workflows around the world. Finally, he will present recent and predicted changes to extensibility that come with InDesign CC, including object model changes and the new forms of extensions.
Max will demonstrate scripts and make available scripts and material about scripting from Olav Martin Kvern and others that you can download for FREE. Four copies of Olav’s book Real World InDesign CC will be among the raffle prizes.

Plummer Park
In 1874, Col. Eugenio Plummer acquired official title to 160 acres from Señora Francisca Perez, who had occupied this land under preemption law in 1869. Plummer Park and Plummer House were acquired by Los Angeles County from Senor Plummer in 1937 for $15,000. The Community Center in Plummer Park was designed by Koning Eizenberg Architecture and completed in 2001.
