Spring Recognition Luncheon

Hugs, smiles, conversation and laughter. The Spring Recognition Luncheon reminded us how wonderful it is to be together again. Along with a lovely luncheon and award activities, we are grateful for all the good things that have happened this past year in spite of the pandemic!

Visiting the Sistine Chapel with the Historical League

We didn't need to travel to Italy to visit Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Historical League tours take you all over the world . . . at least to Rome, with tour chairs Mary McMahon and Julie Moore organizing them! 

This immersive art exhibition featured 10,000 square feet of the artist’s frescoes that adorn the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.  Phoenix hosted this event November - February 14, 2021 through Special Entertainment Events. The venue accommodated physical distancing guidelines provided by public health administrators. Guests wore masks at all times, and managed entry/exit (as well as timed-ticketing) limited the amount of visitors in the exhibit at one time.

Revered for its likeness and globally acclaimed, the exhibition has brought unique experiences to hundreds of thousands of visitors around the world, in locations such as New York City, Shanghai, Berlin, Bogota, Vienna and now Phoenix.

The exhibit had 34 panels of the frescoes produced in their near-original size. Among these reproductions are masterpieces like The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgement. The exhibit brought visitors within

just a few feet of the frescoes, producing a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Kudos to O'Neil Printing

Kudos to a Great Company O'Neil Printing. We are proud to have worked with them on several projects, most recently Tastes & Treasures II storytelling cookbook. Anthony Narducci, President, said “O’Neil has been part of the fabric of Arizona for more than 100 years. We are always looking for ways to support organizations that are helping our neighbors, especially children and families who are most vulnerable,” said Narducci. “School food service programs continue to meet very practical hunger and nutrition needs of children in our communities and we wanted to do something to help out where we could.”
To assist with the marketing efforts of school meal programs, O’Neil is offering free breakfast and lunch banners in two unique designs for qualifying school districts, particularly those with a majority low-income population.
