May 3, 2021 Meeting

This is how we roll now with Historical League Zoom meetings. They are filled with National History Day information, reports on Future of History Fund, exhibit updates, Tastes & Treasures II promotions, Social Media tutorials, and good stories that make us laugh as well. It will be great to meet in person again at the AZ Heritage Center but until then, online meetings work with 28 attending the May 3 monthly meeting.
