Prescott Valley List #1-9   

Hoover Dam and Glen Canyon Dam were constructed to control water flow down the Colorado River, produce hydroelectric power and provide recreational opportunities. We will review the history of the dams and look at the current status of the lakes. The drought of recent years has seriously diminished the water levels in the lakes, affecting electric generation and the ability to meet downstream water commitments. We will discuss the outlook for the long-term operation of these two dams.

Come brag about your ancestors! Bring an 8-10 minute story about a “black sheep” in your family—maybe that’s you! Share a memory of a relative who was a true hero to you. Perhaps tell a fact-filled tale about a “scallywag” whose impish grin - and lasting influence - made a mark on you. Bring a flash drive with PowerPoint, memorabilia, or photos of the person you select. Join us to present your fond memories of kinfolk and the unforgettable “characters” in our families!
