Local Activities
General meetings are held monthly September through May on the third Saturday of the month. Various speakers and programs highlight these meetings.
Monthly newsletters provide our members with information about branch activities and information on AAUW at all levels.
Activities include Public Policy, Great Decisions, Educational Foundation, Tech Trek, Local Scholarship, Legal Advocacy, community support and other related activities.
For fun, some of our members play bridge, go out to lunch, share ideas from a good book, or join the "Go Arts" group with outings to museums, concerts and theaters. We are always on the lookout for another fun interest group to start.
