Program

AAUW Programs for 2024-2025
Our theme this year is Community of Voices: Let YOUR Voice Be Heard!

 

November we will visit the Discovery Center at Waters Edge to learn about
this fascinating program. For 100 years, APG has been home to some of the most brilliant minds in science and technology. Their inventions have changed how people live, work, and play around the globe. The Discovery Center will tell their stories.
December brings us to our Annual Holiday gathering where we can chat with old friends and
make new acquaintances.

January and February meetings are on ZOOM due to weather and early sunsets. We do have a ZOOM meeting in the works to visit with a local author and, for February, get a visual tour of the Furaha School in Kenya

We are working on contacting the Klein’s Family Center for March, followed by the Resnik Awards in April.

In May we hope to visit Char Hope and learn about their wonderful program.

Of course, in June we will have our fabulous Picnic! Sounds pretty good to me!
