Holiday Meeting at Joan Galloway's home

The December Historical League meeting has traditionally been a festive one, held at the home of a member. This year Joan hosted the event again and we are so grateful for her generosity. The home is decorated beautifully and should be in "Better Homes and Gardens" magazine. The salads and desserts brought by League members were delicious. It was a fabulous way to celebrate the Holidays.
Carolyn Mendoza and Ruth McLeod sold many cookbooks, aprons and Historymaker books

Happy Birthday Bus to Casa Grande

Nothing like celebrating your birthday with 42 of your closest friends on a historical tour to Casa Grande. The gals in the Historical League enjoyed their fabulous tour yesterday filled with musuems, lunch, restored theatres, stores and buildings. Casa Grande gave us the royal tour.

Turns out Julie Moore and Joan Galloway were having birthdays too!
