President’s Message

President’s Message By Nancy McCabe

Welcome Back to AAUW after our summer break!

Not a lot continues through the summer except Singles Dining. We have the opportunity to eat outdoors unless it is Sacramento HOT on our scheduled evening for dinner. If you are a single lady and not on my mailing list you are welcome to join us any time — just shoot me an email and I will add you to our roster.

Our program vice presidents have scheduled some wonderful programs for the coming year so be sure you check them out. In September our Tech Trek girls will be showing us some of their experiences from this year’s camps, both resident and online. This is a life-changing week that we provide to six girls at UC Davis and two at their homes online.

We need a member to assume leadership of this program for the coming year so that we will be able to continue to provide five days of STEM learning for these girls. It would be tragic if we were unable to continue this due to lack of leadership. The past coordinators are available to help you get comfortable in this role. It consists of working with a few middle school science teachers to get referrals, interviewing the girls and their parents, and doing the paperwork to get them registered and the fees paid.

Each summer during the week our girls are at camp, our membership is invited to spend a half day touring the program, and AAUW volunteers are always needed to assist with camp tasks, as little as a half day to all week. Please consider giving your time to save this life-changing program.

Also, the proposed 2024-25 Branch Budget will be voted on at the September 14th program meeting. You can review the proposed Budget <here>.

Why be a Finance Director?

Why be a Finance Director? By Liz Jordan, Finance Director 2020-2022

Why would you want to be a Finance Director? 

  • Because you get to play with money!
  • Because you are using your brain for an excellent purpose!
  • Because you get to be in the know about all branch activities!
  • Because it’s easy! We have Quick Books! This subscription does all the math, practically reconciles the check book for you!
  • Also, we have a professional bookkeeper to help when you need help! And our branch has a budget to pay for these two important services.
  • It’s all set up and ready for a new volunteer!
  • You are an Essential Member of the leadership team. No Treasurer/No Branch.

I like to say, if I can do this job for AAUW, you can do it.  I am a language person.  I am an associative thinker.  I have an older brain.  If I can do this, you can too.  Volunteer.

Position will be open for the 2022-2023 year.  Find your “YES!” Contact Liz Jordan for more information.

Our 2016-2017 Budget Needs Branch Approval by May Ruth Lynch

budget clipartThe Board of Directors has approved the budget for fiscal year 2016-2017 (click here to review). Branch members are asked to review the proposed budget, which will be voted on at the September Showcase. We are taking $1,000 from reserves to cover expenses for 2016-17. Because officers made contributions instead of submitting all expenses in 2014-15, we put approx $1,100 into reserves at the end of fiscal year 2015. We are taking this amount out to cover expenses for 2016-17. In 2017-18, we will be able to cover expenses from the dues increase of $4.

Please direct any questions or suggestions to May Ruth Lynch at (916) 382-4412 or mayrlynch@comcast.net.
