The Town Hall Association was formed as the Town Hall was first built in 1898. For over 100 years, the Town Hall Association has been here to watch over the Town Hall and to make sure that the mission above continues for another 100 years. The association is more than just a group dedicated to a building, it is a community of residents and friends of Descanso itself. Our membership is made up of people who really care about their neighbors and their community. If you would like to be a part of this wonderful organization, please click on the Membership link in the menu at the top of the page.

​The Descanso Town Hall is managed by the Descanso Town Hall Association (DTHA), a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer organization. DTHA members elect the following officers to serve on a board of directors: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. The board appoints various coordinators to manage various projects, and meets monthly to manage the following responsibilities:

• Make all decisions regarding maintenance and use of the Town Hall property
• Manage and provide for audit of financial records
• Provide facilities for community meetings and social events
• Provide free facilities for meetings of other non-profit or local government organizations
• Obtain donations or fees to pay for all Town Hall expenses
• Manage community activities such as the Descanso Days Parade and Fair
• Manage the Luke Barbour scholarship fund and select two graduating seniors each year to receive the scholarships
