Presidents’ Message by Donna Holmes and Marty McKnew

Our new presidents, Marty McKnew and Donna with last year’s president Nancy McCabe (center)

Welcome to an exciting new branch year!  Marty and I plan to be very involved, hands-on presidents visiting and participating in as many committees and interest groups as possible.

We are thrilled to have all our board positions filled and with dynamic women!  Ashley Anglesey who comes to our branch from the CSUS branch after graduating in June has filled our last open position, Public Policy.  Our board spans 50 years, women from 25 to 75, giving us age diversity other branches envy!

At our retreat last month, the board chose “AAUW speaks out for women” as our theme.  On October 10th we will be showing “Equal Means Equal” at American River College in collaboration with CHAR. Come to Showcase and hear more about our plans!

We will also stay very involved with completing our 100th Anniversary Grant and getting ready for our 100th birthday celebration in 2020.

We are proud to be your Presidents and hope you all will free to contact us with ideas or questions.

Hugs & Cheers, Donna & Marty
