Listen to music, enjoy refreshments, and pick up a Driving Guide of Historic Places and a Find-the-Sign activity for kids.

I’ve been to this open house in the past, toured a few vintage motor court motels on Oracle Road (ie. La Siesta Motel), and even walked the Evergreen Cemetery on local historian Ken Scoville’s tour – fascinating to see the gravestones of famous Tucsonans, and hear about what Tucson was like in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Enjoy these “blast from the past” days.

Has it only been a year since UA Associate Director of Athletics for Facilities and Project Management Steve Kozachik was sworn in as the City of Tucson’s Ward 6 Councilmember? He and his staff should be congratulated on their hard work, especially on Rio Nuevo issues.

And Steve had never held public office before, so he had a lot to learn about the City of Tucson’s financial situation. He is a Republican and defeated Democratic incumbent Councilmember Nina Trasoff in November, 2009.

Join them for a non-partisan holiday party for all.
