Successful Holiday event at Newsies

Mary, Bonnie and Nancy

Thanks to Chairs Mary Parker, Bonnie Newhoff, Nancy Evans and Dianne Linthicum, the Family Holiday Party at Phoenix Theatre was a big hit this year. Held on Saturday, December 9, the theatre was full of excitement, holiday cheer and beautiful decorations.
Chair Nancy Evans commented, "The Silent Auction sold 8 trips! The Winspire trips included:  2 trips to Charleston, SC,  4 trips to Nashville, TN, 1 trip Masters Golf practice round Augusta, Ga., and 1 trip to New Orleans, LA. The reception was unbelievable with its assortments of sweets and savory plus cheeses. The raffle had high quality items. The Newsie play was outstanding!"

Tour organizers did a fantastic job to Monument Valley

Thanks to Bonnie Newhoff, Dianne Linthicum, Nancy Evans and Mary Parker, the 3 day bus tour to Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly was outstanding. So much to see and experience. What a wonderful time learning about Arizona's history.
What a wonderful time to spend with other Historical League members.
We are most appreciative of the time and energy it took to organize such a fantastic tour. Three days of meals, lodging, shopping, BBQ in the rain, tours into Canyon de Chelly, Monument Valley, guest speaker Peter McDonald, Navajo National Monument, Hubbell Trading post, Navajo Code Talkers Museum, even box lunches from Chapparal Pines Country Club in Payson and Happy Hour on the bus each day.
Did I mention turquoise and silver jewelry shopping was involved too?
