A Message from the Co-Presidents: Kathryn Brown & Amy Bisek

Huge congratulations and heartfelt thanks to our members who so expertly orchestrated our October membership meeting. Eighteen new members joined that day. Make sure to check out the article recapping this month’s new members and the attached Yearbook Updates: maybe a new member is your neighbor or shares your interests? We bet they’d like an invitation to join you at an upcoming AAUW event.

If you returned home from the membership meeting and thought: Hmmm, I should have signed up for this or that and I didn’t make it happen. It’s never too late. Just grab your little yellow yearbook, where it lists the contact information for all our group chairs, and reach out to them. We’re sure they’ll be happy to hear from you.

What an event we have coming up at the November branch meeting. Our Nancy Yowell Memorial Scholarship team is putting the final touches on the Holiday Boutique fundraiser. We’re sure it will be amazing. There are always creative, tasty and enticing items to buy.  And the cost of your purchases goes directly to our NYM scholarship fund.

Please, please, please ensure that you vote no later than Tuesday, Nov 4.  While Proposition 50 is the only statewide measure, some California counties and cities may also have local elections. These local ballots could include bond measures, parcel taxes, or other local ordinances, depending on your specific location. So watch for more information about the upcoming special election and make sure you vote. Our predecessors worked long and hard to secure the right for women to vote.  Don’t ever take this basic right for granted!
