Delicious food served at Unveiling of 2014 Historymakers Exhibit

“History in the Making" event at the Museum had a buffet table filled with fabulous food. Thanks to the Dancing Chef Mark Vanek for doing the catering. Many of the delicious menu items were taken from the League cookbook “Tastes and Treasures.”

New Museum Name

Historymakers 2014 Exhibit

Exciting things happening with AHS. New name for the museum is Arizona Heritage Center at Papago Park. The new director Tawn Downs made the official announcement at the Unveiling of 2014 Historymakers Exhibit. We are looking forward to seeing the Heritage Center grow with her vision of making it a Cultural Center, a gathering place, more open to the public with events in the courtyard and speaking engagements.

Love having the children's Old Ned aprons on hand for helping in the kitchen. Children enjoy having the same apron as the grownups and it saves their clothes too.
Fits sizes 3-7 years. Washable, front pocket, adjustable strap. $10.00. Makes a great Holiday gift . . .

Grilled Apple and Squash Sausage Kebabs

A sweet and savory dish.

Ingredients for Glaze: 
1/4 cup low-sugar apricot preserves 

1 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce 


Ingredients for Kebabs: 

2 cups butternut squash cut into 1-inch cubes

2 cups apples cut into 1-inch chunks 

12 oz. (about 4 links) fully cooked chicken sausage with 8g fat or less per 3-oz. serving, sliced into 1-inch coins

Directions: 
If using six wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.


To make the glaze, in a small bowl, combine preserves with soy sauce. Stir until uniform.


Place squash and apples in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tbsp. water. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave for 2 more minutes, or until squash has slightly softened. 

Alternately thread squash, apples, and sausage coins onto six skewers, tightly packing pieces together. 

Spray a grill with nonstick spray and bring to medium-low heat. Brush all sides of the kebabs with the glaze.
Grill for 6 minutes with the grill cover down. 

Flip kebabs. With the grill cover down, grill for 6 - 8 minutes, or until squash has softened.

Donate Wizard of Oz tickets to help children

One more munchkin can attend The Wizard of Oz thanks to Donna Esposito donating a ticket. The spirit of the Holidays comes out when people donate to let a child attend such a festive event . . . Something that the child would never be able to see with out the help of a friend. Something that the child will remember long after the Holidays are over.
Thanks Donna and all the others who donate tickets. Call the box office to donate and tell them it is for the Historical League benefit matinee. 602-254-2151.
The Audrey Johnson Foundation co-ordinates the donation to make sure children get a chance to see this live theatre performance and experience the Historical League "Extras" available only at this matinee.
