Event Calendar
The Sedona Women’s Garage Sale will take place on Friday March 20 and Saturday March 21 at the home of member Dawn Griffin, 95 Skyline Drive in the Village of Oak Creek. We will be raising funds for the Helen Wolfe Scholarship Fund.
We need your help to gather good usable kitchenware, dishes, glassware, small appliances in good working order, wall art, books, linens, holiday décor, jewelry, clothing, women’s accessories, craft supplies, garden items, games, puzzles, tools, sporting goods, antiques, and collectibles. No furniture or large items that cannot be transported in a car or SUV.
We will be collecting small items at the February 12 and March 12 general meetings. You can also arrange to drop things off at Diana Rigoli's home in West Sedona between January 17 and March 14. Call her at 781-589-6677 to make arrangements.
We need volunteers to help prepare for the sale beginning on Monday, March 16. We especially need volunteers to work at the beginning of the sale on morning of Friday March 20, as well as at the end of the sale on Saturday March 21 in the afternoon. The final shift will involve packing up unsold merchandise, and then we will celebrate the success of the sale with a pizza party.
Use the button at the left to volunteer for a shift. You can sign up for multiple shifts, but each needs to be a separate registration.
Contact Diana Rigoli at drigoli@aol.com or 781-589-6677, or Victoria Clark at jinxclark@aol.com or 928-284-3120, with any questions.
Sedona is undeniably one of the most beautiful areas of the country. People are powerlessly drawn to the red rocks after viewing images of Sedona in films and travel guides, and many folks end up planning additional trips and dreaming of the time when their brief experiences can be extended forever. Victoria Clark, a long-time TSW member and lifelong Arizonan who has lived in Sedona for 25 years, will present an engaging overview of the history of our area.
Settlements in Arizona usually began where a reliable source of water was present. The development of Sedona began in Oak Creek, when Native Americans discovered the area that is today called Indian Gardens. Indian Gardens had flat areas for farming, as well as fish and game that served as sources of food. Attracted by the water in Oak Creek, the temperate climate, and the possibilities of farming and ranching, the area that would become Sedona was born.
This story of Sedona history will include:
Victoria is a former Pima Community College teacher, and has written four books on Arizona’s colorful history. She is a former board member of the Sedona Heritage Museum and delights in giving lectures on Arizona’s history. Her motto is “History with Humor” — people may forget dates and locations, but will always enjoy and remember a good story. Last August, Victoria was a guest on a podcast recorded from her front porch with views of the Bell and Courthouse Rock formations. The primary question received following the broadcast was whether what folks were seeing was real or AI. We are so fortunate that the beauty of Sedona is indeed real.
