Membership News
We have two new members to welcome to our ranks! They are Caity Lovett and Anna Berglowe-Lynch. I know you will make them feel very welcome when you have the chance to meet them, and we all hope that they will find many new friends and interesting events at our branch.
I hope that everyone has had a chance to renew their membership if indeed it is that time for you to do so. In the past, everyone’s membership was good from June 30th to July 1st. However, since AAUW national has adopted a new system, things have changed:
• As of February 2022, when AAUW moved to the new system, when a person joins, their renewal date will be a year from that date. So, if a person joined 4/1/23, her membership is good for an entire year up until 3/31/24.
• All the “older” memberships where people joined before February 2022, are good until July 1 to June 30 of the following year.
• At the time of a renewal, AAUW national sends out an email. The member should receive this about 2 weeks before membership ends. If a person hasn’t received a reminder in their primary inbox, they should check their promo and junk emails as well.
• If a person doesn’t renew, there is a 3-month (90 days) grace period.
• If a person’s membership lapses and then they join, their renewal date will be one year from that point in time.
• This year is the last of several increases, hopefully, with National dues at $72 ($69 of which is tax deductible), $10 is state dues, and $21 is branch dues for a total of $103.
So how do you renew when the time comes?
• To pay online: Visit the AAUW Login page. If you have visited the Community Hub before and have already established an account, you can log into your Personal Snapshot. If you have not, click, Forgot Your Password located below the blue login button at the bottom of the page. Enter your email address that AAUW has on file for you and that they used to send you the renewal reminder. Then click Reset Your Password to receive a login email from infosf@aauw.org. If you don’t receive it in 5-10 minutes, email connect@aauw.org. PLEASE DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. After you receive the login email, enter your email address and “Create and Confirm your Password” to access your Personal Snapshot.
• Once you are in your Personal Snapshot, click RENEW at the bottom of the screen to renew your national, branch and state memberships! Dual members should self-renew ALL memberships at once. College/University representatives whose national membership is covered by the school should email connect@aauw.org to request a special code before renewing.
• To pay by check: As always, you have the option of writing a check. Please make it payable to AAUW
Harford County Branch for $103 and mail it to our financial officer: Kathy Burley, 4403 Webster
Lapidum Road, Havre de Grace, MD 21078.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at jeanmarieb@gmail.com or text or call 410-
800-3732.

AAUW BOOK CLUB
AAUW Book Group
If you love to read, this is the group for you! We bring interesting and diverse points of view to the
discussion of virtually every book we read. We meet on Saturday mornings (usually on the fourth Sat)
September through May at members’ homes from 10am – 11:30. You can just read along with us, but
the process of discussing books with other intelligent women is well worth your time. The joy of
reading is multiplied when we share it with others. Join us if you’re able!
For more information, contact Peggy Dymond, mmdymond67@gmail.com or 410-272-9139 (home).

So you can get a head-start on the books for the rest of the year:
Birthdays
Birthday Bash!
Before we know it, our birthdays come and go, and we have forgotten to reach out to others on their special day. This upcoming year, we’d like to change that in AAUW by sending each member a birthday card. There’s one little problem with this however, we don’t have everyone’s birthday! Please help us out by emailing your birthday back to me so I can complete a chart with everyone’s special day. Even if you’ve sworn off celebrating any more birthdays, birthday well wishes will still head your way!
Please email your name and birthday (month and day are fine if you want to keep others guessing your age!) and address back to me when you have a moment or you can also text the information with your name, address, and birthdate to my cell 410-800-3732.
Many thanks!
