“The Color Red” Presentation
Thank you to our speaker, Diane Foray, Docent at the Tucson Museum of Art at the program last Monday morning. She presented us with the history of the color “red.” Who knew there was so much to learn and what part red played in our history.
Congratulations to the lucky door prize winners all of which received items from the museum gift shop (L-R: Kathi Krieg, Pam Butler, Mary Lou Kiger, Eileen Sykora, and Nancy Jacobs). Follow this link to see additional photos on the website: «The Color Red photos».

Gracias! Gracias!…..and thank you, too.
The Scholarship Committee thanks you for visiting our table at the January program and inquiring about the 2017 scholarship program being offered to graduating female seniors from Sahuarita and Walden Grove High Schools. Also, “thanks” to the women who volunteered to 
help read the applications. The deadline (date stamped) for the applications was January 31 and they are arriving at Carol Mutter’s box daily. It is an exciting time for all of us.
Finally, you noticed that our resident piggies looked a bit scrawny and needed some feeding. They were most happy with your contributions and so, too, our future scholarship awardees.
