Many of us came to AAUW through books and book groups. That’s why the annual authors’ luncheon is a fan favorite.

This year we bring you Archana Maniar, an infectious disease specialist in Sacramento affiliated with the UC Davis Medical Center. She received her medical degree from UC Davis School of Medicine and has been in practice for more than 20 years. Writing has been a big part of her life. We will learn about her book Dry Spells – When the rain stops, what will be revealed? A work of fiction, it has been described as  “A beautiful, vivid and atmospheric … story of loss and redemption” – Fiona Valpy from Goodreads.

Guests are welcome at our events, but please arrange for a separate registration form for each attendee. To honor the requirements of the kitchen at North Ridge, the deadline for registering is Friday, April 18.

The meal includes a choice of Chicken Marsala (with roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables) or Bay Shrimp Louis (mixed greens Bay Shrimp, avocado, eggs, tomatoes and Thousand Island Dressing on the side) or Butternut Squash Ravioli (with brown sage butter, Parmesan and steamed vegetables). Our choices for dessert are Chocolate Mousse Cake or Fruit Cup. Bread, Coffee, Iced Tea, Hot Tea and Water will be offered as well. Doors open at 11; lunch will be served at noon. We will have lots of time to socialize and buy her books.
