Share

The city of Calabasas and the Chamber of Commerce are planning a dinner to welcome Calabasas’ new mayor, Dennis Washburn, and to pay tribute to retiring Mayor Karyn Foley.

Washburn, who helped lead Calabasas’ drive to cityhood, replaced Foley as mayor as part of an annual City Council reorganization in April.

Named the city’s first mayor after Calabasas incorporated in 1991, Washburn had been vice president of the Calabasas Cityhood Committee from 1985 to 1991.
