| Guest speaker Barbara Barrett |
Co-chair, Barb Ehrhard, and her committee are enthusiastic about this day. "This is truly a BIG event. We have a fabulous and distinguished speaker -- Ambassador Barbara Barrett, who is a Historical League member, Historymaker, aviation attorney, diplomat, rancher, chairman of the Aerospace Corporation, backup space flight participant to International Space Station, first civilian woman to land an FA-18 Hornet on an aircraft carrier, member of several boards including Smithsonian, Sally Ride Science, and O'Conner Institute, and owner of the Triple Creek Ranch in Montana, which Travel+Leisure recognized as one of the best hotels in the world. We will have two sets of free tours of the Mansion, raffle prizes, and of course, our Annual Meeting and Recognition of Volunteers this past year. Thus, we needed a large committee so that no one person felt overwhelmed with any tasks. Plus, what a great way to get to know each other better and have fun!
This event would be the perfect time to bring family and friends to appreciate the history of the Wrigley Mansion, the novelty of Kentucky Derby hats and the wonderful and rare opportunity to enjoy one of our own Historymakers speak. We hope you can come."

Our lunch stop at Cameron Trading Post included lots of shopping as well as delicious Navajo Tacos. Historical League tours are a great way to see the state and spend time with amazing members.
Happy to announce that you can purchase our award winning Tastes & Treasures A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona at Cameron Trading Post in Cameron, Arizona. We took boxes of cookbooks on our 3 day Historical League journey to the Navajo Nation. After lunch at Cameron Trading Post, Leslie Christiansen and Ruth McLeod showed took the cookbook to gift shop buyer, Jolleen Kerley. She looked at the first chapter with Navajo Tacos from Cameron Trading Post and was sold!
Next time you are in the NE corner of the state, stop in to this HUGE Trading Post and enjoy!
Working on a Historical League committee is not all work as these ladies show us in planning the Volunteer Recognition Luncheon.
Other members of the committee who were not pictured include: Jeannine Moyle (Finance and AM Tour of Wrigley Mansion), Karen Swanson (Raffle and PM Tour of Wrigley Mansion), and Rebecca Stone (Reservations and Decorations).
With a theme of Kentucky Derby hats for the Annual Meeting and Recognition Luncheon, which style will be worn? Mariamne Moore has had a vintage clothing business for years and offered several hats for League members to borrow for the event. The more feathers, flowers, ribbons and fluff on the hat, the better. Having the luncheon at the historic Wrigley Mansion will make the hats even more appreciated. RSVP $50 www.HistoricalLeague.org
