Fall 2012
Greetings From Your President
Dear Quester Members,
I am happy to be your state president! I represented all 28 chapters and 461 members
from Arizona at the 62nd International Questers convention in Baltimore, MD with pride.
You will be delighted to know that the AZ delegation was greeted with words of praise
and delight for the fabulous International convention that we hosted in 2010. Thanks to
many of you and our outstanding chairman, Ginger Williams, for our success!
Speaking of International conventions, you really haven’t fully experienced Qs until
President Essie Mae
you attend one. I urge you to start planning now and adding to your ‘piggy bank’ so you
can join me at the next convention. Check the Quester Quarterly for details. Hey, the tours are great, but
meeting and networking with Qs from across the US and Canada is a real highlight. There are 12,598 of us in
48 states and 2 Canadian provinces.
At the Council Meeting at convention, each state and province president and organizers gave a report of
their year’s activities. I can testify that AZ is right up there with the ‘best’ of ‘em! You all should be proud!
Here are a few excerpts from my report:
* “AZ has a state newsletter and website. All the chapters have received approval from International for
their updated Bylaws. AZ Qs are very busy and involved in grants for P&R projects.
* We hold 2 state board meetings and 2 state meetings each year. We have successful ‘Opportunity
Drawings’ at the state meetings to raise funds for state grants that support P&R projects. Some years, we
hold a Friendship Luncheon and sometimes it is an Antique Exhibit—all with a goal to reach new members
* Chapter Presidents & Treasurers receive training each January. State board members and committee
chairs attend to meet and share about their duties. Treasurers received extra emphasis this past year.
A special recognition and congratulations goes out to 3 of our AZ chapters for hard-won grants: Sonoran
Searchers #1444 received $5500 from International to restore the Ice House at the Arcadia Ranch Museum in
Oracle, AZ. State grants went to Yucca #0826, $2800, for cases to display artifacts of Del Webb History in the
Sun Cities Historical Museum in Sun City and to Four Peaks #1207, $544, display cabinets in the River of
Time Museum in Fountain Hills. Your fellow Qs want to say ‘thank you all’ for the hard work and follow thru
with the true meaning of what Qs are all about: preservation and restoration.
Welcome to our 3 new state officers: Donna Booth, Judy O’Donnell and Gene Serbus. And, we bid a
super big THANK YOU to departing officer for a job well done: May Baker, Doris Palmer and Arlene Bright.
I have saved a delightful surprise for you . At the Annual Fall Council Meeting, November 16, 2012, our
International President will be our special guest. Not only is she knowledgeable and capable, but she is FUN!
Come to this meeting and help AZ Qs welcome Jeanne Stokebrand from Arkansas.
On a personal side: After many years of being a widow, I married Victor Charles Thomas March 16, 2012.
Note my new address (page 2 inside).

Ho Ho Kams #0622 (Scottsdale)
The HoHoKams’ last session of the 2011/2012
year was a tribute to Arizona’s 100th anniversary.
They toured the Scottsdale Historical Museum where
Q’s loans were on display: squaw dress & shoes/
Sandi Dimitro, 2 flags/Norma Hand, & an extensive
thimble collection of copper, silver, and sandstone
thimbles fashioned by local artisans. Next was a tour
of the Cavalliere Blacksmith Shop. Last was a short
history of the Old Adobe Mission. The morning
concluded with lunch at the Sugar Bowl in an historic
building in downtown Scottsdale. There we had a
lively discussion planning next year’s programs.
Prescott Pines #1345 (Prescott)
Prescott Pines is selling raffle tickets for a
beautiful junior sized quilt made by member & donor
Alice Obrenovich’s grandmother, Artie Phillips Bean
in Buckhannon, WV in the 1930’s. It is a double
wedding ring pattern hand pieced and hand
quilted. All proceeds
will benefit Sharlot Hall
Museum in Prescott.

Pink Pony #1273 (Scottsdale)
Pink Pony had a sad Spring when death claimed 3

participating members always willing to take on
projects and present programs. We will miss them.
This Fall we have 2 prospective members coming
and would welcome more new members. Programs
will include paper dolls and an overnight trip to
Prescott. At the AZ Qs Antique Show we’ll have an
Oriental display of some very unusual items. As you
can see, despite our losses, we are going strong

This Place Matters!...to AZ Qs
Some members had not previously visited ’this
place’, so they took a tour as part of the spring State
Board meeting. Built in 1926 as AZ's first black high
school, it was purchased by past graduates and friends
of the school in 1996. It is a Phoenix Historic Site.
Phoenix Firebird #0629 and Desert Sage #1287 have
adopted the Center as their P&R project.
