National History Day luncheon

 Historical League is proud to support NHDAZ. Anne Lupica did a wonderful job organizing this celebration luncheon.

Historymaker Bil Keane

 Honored as a Historymaker in 1992, Bil Keane's cartoons have timeless appeal. Glad to see his son Jeff continuing the legacy.

Historymaker Hall at Arizona Heritage Center in Papago Park is filled with photos and artifacts from all of the Historymakers.

Annual Recognition Luncheon May 2022

Smiles abound as we gathered for the Recognition Luncheon. This annual event celebrates the many many hours of volunteering from Historical League members. Pictures tell the story. Congratulations to all those honored.

Thanks to the 2021-2022 Board for their wonderful guidance and we look forward to 2022-2023 Board.

200 Tastes & Treasures II books donated to Litchfield Elementary School District

Happy to see Arizona history shared through Tastes & Treasures II. Thanks to School Connect for facilitating the partnership between the Historical League and schools. Thanks to Clede Gorrell and Nina Filippi for presenting the books to teachers and staff.

One of the featured stories and recipes in the book is the Wigwam Resort in Litchfield Park.

Comment from Litchfield Elementary School District: Thank you, Tracey (Beal). We are so grateful to School Connect for making this happen! This was an especially fun Aloha Day at Rancho Santa Fe Elementary School! Rancho Santa Fe Elementary PTSA

Saying Goodby to Tawn Downs

 Wishing Tawn Downs All the BEST as she leaves AZ Heritage Center, President Claire Nullmeyer and Past Pres. Susan Dale give her an orchid plant.

The entire Historical League is grateful for all this gracious and hard-working lady has done over the past 7 years. She will be missed.

48 Most intriguing Women of Arizona

 Historical League members Susan Dale, Pat Faur, Norma Jean Coulter, and Margaret Baker attended the 48 Women event held at the Arizona Biltmore.

48 Arizona Women and the Arizona Historical Society selected the 48 Most Intriguing Women of Arizona for 2022, among them an astronaut, a fire department chief and a young collegiate golfer with Downs Syndrome.

Now 11 years old, 48 Arizona Women, the sponsoring organization based in Scottsdale, started as an official Arizona Centennial Project in 2010 to recognize the state’s most remarkable women having a remarkable impact in their communities, often with little fanfare. The organization’s mission is to transform lives, build stronger communities and help positively shape Arizona and the nation.
