Katie Tovar writes, "Sharron McKinney and I decided to look up the old scrapbooks to see how the League has changed over the years. This is a picture of our first scrapbook in 1980 and our newest scrapbook, 2022-2023. One thing that hasn’t changed at all - our mascot Old Ned!" Additional photo is 1981-1982 scrapbook.

Old Ned Centerpieces
Nina Fillipi described the beautiful centerpieces,
"Oh My Gosh..look at what we have here.......An impressive Christmas Centerpiece with a replica of Old Ned, The Historical League's endearing logo. During the summer, Chairs of the CHP searched the Internet and had him shipped here to Arizona. Old Ned will take his place of "honor" in tribute to our 30th Annual Children's Holiday Party on Saturday, December 15, 2012.
I am delighted to say, I will be one of the fortunate members to bring that old guy home with me. (Really??...another old guy in the house, hmm.....!)"
Co-chair of The Children's Holiday Party, Nina told us the centerpieces will be available for purchase during the event.More information and tickets at www.HistoricalLeague.org
