It was so nice to see everyone at the Authors Luncheon on April 11. It was a lovely event – good food, a fascinating speaker, a nice venue that we can feel good about supporting with our business as they help women reinvent themselves in a positive direction. Not only that, we proved one more time as we elected a new board of directors that women will say yes to stepping up to leadership roles in an organization that is important to all of us.

Cherril Peabody, AAUW Sacramento President for 2014-15

You will have received your renewal forms for the AAUW 2015-2016 program year by now. I hope you will be prompt in returning your form with your check, since we must have the money turned in to state and national AAUW by the beginning of the new program year on July 1. That means we need to receive all the renewal checks and process them well in advance of that date. Also, please consider signing up to work on a committee when you fill out your form. It’s a great way to meet new friends, plus you will be helping us do the work that needs to be done to make this organization effective.

We have decided to schedule some programming this summer, which we haven’t done in a long time. Watch for more information about the WOW meeting scheduled for July – it sounds fascinating!

I hope to see many of you at the Installation Tea on May 16! It is shaping up to be a really special occasion.
