Take Back the Night
The Sacramento Branch partnered with Citrus Heights/American River Branch (CHAR) in participating in the 40th Take Back the Night on Saturday, Oct. 12. The celebration included a Resource Fair & Rally and a march through Midtown Sacramento. CHAR brought a few of their ARC affiliates and CSUS affiliates helped work the table. AAUW Sacramento has participated in this community event for many years.
Tech Trek Brunch
Saturday, Oct. 19 AAUW Sacramento’s October Branch meeting was a celebration of our very successful Teck Trek Program. The branch gathered with our young Trekkers and their families for a brunch provided by branch members at the Rancho Cordova City Hall. The Trekkers regaled us with stories about their weeklong camp adventure and Susan Wheeler, co-director of the UC Davis Tech Trek camp, addressed the gathering. Inspiring!
