Open House very successful

Touring the Craftsman-style Hearn Home on Northern Ave in Phoenix was amazing. And everyone enjoyed the wonderful food and drinks, listening to the many speakers and just visiting with Historical League members and guests.

Loved the "before" and "after" photos of the extensive remodel.

We all enjoyed guest speaker Reba Wells-Grandrud talk of Sunnyslope community history. She has authored and co-authored several books

including assisting on the new AZ Centennial book Recollections and Reflections An Arizona Historymakers Centennial Commemoration. This book is an official AZ Centennial Legacy Project. Reba has been very involved in the Sunnyslope Historical Society as well as Arizona Historical Society, is a "CultureKeeper" as well as a long-time Historical League member.
