Local author, Karen Levy, will discuss her memoir, My Father’s Gardens. She will be selling copies that day.  It is available at The Avid Reader in Davis and at Avid Reader Tower, as well as Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and through Homebound Publications.

While you enjoy this year’s authors luncheon, take a few minutes to renew your AAUW membership. Early membership renewal offers members an opportunity to complete their forms and submit payment all at one time. A special table will be set up with the renewal forms.

Please remember that the total renewal fee is now $85, up because of a $4 increase in the State’s portion of our fee. AAUW California has increased its fee for membership from $16 to $20. The increase was proposed by the AAUW CA and voted on and passed by the voting State members. Therefore, when you receive your renewal application from us in April, you will see a total fee of $85 for National, State, and the Sacramento Branch. For more information, search for “fees” on the State website: www.aauw-ca.org.

This is the first state fee increase since 2004. AAUW CA has reduced costs in many ways, such as finding less expensive office space and holding some Board meetings by phone rather than in person. However, costs continue to rise while income from investments and membership has fallen.

If you have questions about membership renewal, please call Sharon Anderson at (916) 594-7650 or email her at anderson.aauw@att.net.
