The annual meeting of the Navajo County Historical Society is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 19, in the Route 66 Auditorium at the Historic Courthouse. The public is invited to attend and learn more about the Historical Society and its responsibility to the community as the caretakers of the museum exhibit objects, original photographs and documents. In addition, the society maintains a research library and staffs the official Arizona Visitors’ Center. All membership dues this year have been earmarked for the roof fund with $1,700 to date added, which includes a $1,000 life membership. The annual meeting will include a complete report of the above activities as well as the annual business meeting that covers the election of governing board members by the society’s membership. The board of director terms of Trudy Bender, JoLynn Fox, Betty Heward, Kathleen Smith and Nicole Young are expiring. The terms of the balance of the board directors will expire in 2020, and include Leann Baker, Mary Bragg, Darlene Brinkerhoff, Jill Diemer, William Fee, Richard Peterson and D.V. Stuart. Persons who are interested in serving a three-year term on the board of directors may pick up a letter of interest application from the visitors’ desk at the courthouse or stop by the Historical Society office located in the annex weekday mornings. Volunteers are welcome as there are always cleaning tasks and archival processing work. For more information as to how you may be involved as a volunteer contact the Historical Society office at 524-6558 or stop by.
