Spring 2011 Education Trip
The AGA Spring education trip was a step back in time to explore part of the ‘Mother Road’ - Historic Route 66 – through northern Arizona. This 2,448 mile road began in 1926 to provide opportunities to travelers, as America moved West. The road began in Chicago, linking small communities across the U.S., and ending in Santa Monica, CA. Originally, only 800 miles of the highway were paved, and none in Arizona, where they were mostly dirt and gravel. Thanks, Leslie for another fabulous road trip!! Click here for more pictures.

Spring 2008 Education Tour
The SoVa’ (South Valley) ‘Trek’ started at the Tempe Art and Cultural Center, then on to the Hohogum Heritage Center on the Gila Reservation. From there, visit to Basha’s headquarters in Gilbert, and then lunch at the Queen Creek Olive Mill. Finally on to Florence, AZ and the St. Anthony’s Greek Monastery.
