Book Groups Update By Sharon Anderson
Reminder there is a “books” page under “Activities” on our
branch website (https://sacramento-ca.aauw.net/bookgroups/). If you wish to see what others are reading, or get ideas for your book group or yourself, please find the books page and take a look.
Each book group has its own tab, by book group number. (These book group numbers correlate with page 6 of the branch Membership Directory.) On each list, the meeting days, times and coordinator are listed. Feel free to call me if you have trouble locating it.

Living Our Mission of Equity By Charmen Goehring
We hope you will join us in a monthly equity conversation looking at our own biases and what actions we can take to attract diversity to our branch and become better people in the process. Each month, we read a section of our selected book then meet to discuss what we have learned, along with exploring other issues related to race and equity. We generally meet the first Wednesday of each month from 7 to 8 p.m. on Zoom. This book group is a joint AAUW Sacramento and CHAR event and open to all.
The Zoom meeting code is 737 420 3780 or you can join using this link:

We will be discussing “How the Word is Passed” by Clint Smith (pages 85-206) at 7 p.m. Oct. 4. If you have questions and to RSVP, please email Charmen at charminme@yahoo.com.
