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!"

Delightful Journey by Barry Goldwater raises funds for National History Day

Evening Under the Stars at the David Wright house April 9 is a big fundraising event for the Historical League supporting National History Day. www.NHDAZ.org 

For the Silent Auction we received this Barry Goldwater book that was created from his journals while rafting the Green and Colorado Rivers in 1940. The 1,463-mile journey was in a small wooden boat. The cloth covered autographed book about his adventure is filled with AMAZING photos
that he took and his stories.


Thinking I will just take a few glances at the photos, I find myself reading every entry. It's like I was traveling with him . . . getting soaked in the rain, shooting the rapids, sleeping under the stars, discovering remains of old smashed boats. He was a great storyteller.

The Silent Auction raises funds for National History Day and we are eager to help those students and teachers accomplish their goals of making the National Competition in Washington D.C.

Children and adults enjoy Mary Poppins Fundraiser

Thanks to Ann Lupica for organizing such a fantastic fundraiser. Non-profits working together created a wonderful event for the Historical League.

Keegan dressed in "Bert" attire asked him where
to get a real chimney sweep broom.

Mary Poppins and Tatum were always smiling.
