THIS AUCTION
: OFFERING A GREAT SCARCE VINTAGE SOUTHWESTERN POLITICAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN PINBACK BUTTON ISSUED FOR FORMER ARIZONA GOVERNOR HOPEFUL DINO DECONCINI...
HE WAS A FORMER FEDERAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION (DEA) OFFICIAL & BROTHER TO U. S. SENATOR DENNIS DECONCINI
Deep passion for the arts and an abundance of political savvy shaped the action-oriented advocacy of Dino DeConcini, who has given so much to Arizona.  In addition to a diverse career in law, business and politics, Dino DeConcini quickly embraced arts advocacy when Governor Bruce Babbitt appointed him the second chairman of the Arizona Commission on the Arts in 1980. One of his first tasks was to increase funding for the Arts Commission, which he did tenfold over his term.
Seeing an unfilled need, he also convened 250 Arizonans in 1980 for a conference, “The Future of Arts in Arizona,” the major outcome was the formation of Arizonans for Cultural Development (ACD, now known as Arizona Citizens for the Arts.)  The creation of ACD set in place the advocacy model still in use today – a professional association to represent and speak for the arts sector in a singular voice in the policy arena, paired with an active advocacy network to interact with local elected officials on arts policy and funding initiatives, primarily at the state level.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL...
He Leadeth Me
In pastures green?
Not always; sometimes He
who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me
In many ways where heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright...
Out of the sunshine into the darkest night,
I oft would faint with sorrow and affright,
Only for this...I know He holds my hand;
so whether in the green or desert land
I trust although I may not understand.
And by still waters?
No, not always so;
Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow,
And o'er my soul the waters and billows go.
But when the storms beat loudest and I cry
aloud for help, the Master standeth by
And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I."
Above the tempest wild I hear Him say,
Beyond this darkness lies a perfect day.
In every path of thine I lead the way.
So whether on the hilltops high and fair
I dwell, or in the sunless valleys where
The shadows lie...what matters?  He is there.
And more than this, where'er the pathway lead
He gives to me no helpless broken reed,
But His own hand, sufficient for my need.
So where He leads me, I can safely go,
And in the blest hereafter I shall know
Why in His wisdom, He hath led me so.
