Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame
Sun City, Arizona – Friday, April 08, 2011 – Sun Valley Lodge will host the third installment of the Discover Arizona series on Thursday, April 14th at 10:00 AM with a discussion of the Arizona Women’s Hall of Fame.
Historian Reba Granrud will give a presentation on the Hall of Fame created in 1979 by the Arizona Women's Commission and the Office of the Governor. Seventy fascinating Arizona women have now been honored since the first induction ceremony in 1981 - homemakers, educators, entrepreneurs, ranch women, legislators, judges, authors, potters, transplants from other states, a mayor, an architect - each one, a woman whose story is worth telling and retelling.
Marketing Director Mike Kloberdanz said, “This is another fascinating piece of Arizona history and culture that many people do not know about. We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Granrud to our campus.”
Reba Granrud is a consultant in historic preservation and oral history, and is an active board member for a wide range of nonprofits, including the Arizona History Convention, Arizona State Committee on Trails, Anza National Historic Trail Advisory Council, Old Spanish Trail Association, Sunnyslope Historical Society, and Pioneer Cemetery Association. She retired in 1998 from the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office, and in 2000 as Director of the Arizona Historical Society Museum in Papago Park
The Discover Arizona programs are free and open to the public. They are made possible by a grant from the Arizona Humanities Council. Sun Valley Lodge is located at 12415 N. 103rd Avenue in Sun City. For more information please call (623) 933-0137.
