Historical League member Rene Blain

Sunnyslope Historical Society Museum may be small but they do good things. Congrats to Historical League member and President of S.H.S. Rene Blain for bringing more members, guest speakers and dynamics to this small museum.
And they are selling a lot of Tastes and Treasures II!

Tour of Water Treatment Plant

How does a desert city get water? Fascinating tour of a Water Treatment plant gave us a glimpse into this amazing process. Filtration, separation, chemistry, physics and engineering clean the water from the Colorado, Salt and Verde rivers. A series of canals supply water to Phoenix, the 5th largest city in the country. 
After yesterday's tour, Historical League members are more appreciative of our water. 
Thanks to Rene Blain and Judy Blackwell for organizing this tour.

October tour of Water Treatment Plant

Thanks to Rene Blain for organizing the October tours of the Water Treatment Plant on Oct 18 and Oct 25. Looks like they are almost sold out!

Tastes & Treasures II is now selling at Sunnyslope Historical Society Museum gift shop, 737 E Hatcher, Phoenix. We enjoyed guest speaker, State Senator Kate Brophy McGee, at Sunnyslope Historical Society monthly meeting Feb 17. She reminesced about her childhood with a fascinating history of growing up in Bisbee from Irish immigrants. It was great to see Tastes & Treasures II featured in the museum gift shop. Kate bought a book which includes a recipe from grandmother-in-law, Sarah Blake Brophy in the Tribute section. Love the enthusiasm of Rene Blain, fellow Historical League member.
