We have come to the end of another year full of AAUW activities.  I have enjoyed being co-president with Jane, but am looking forward to being out of office.  Our branch has accomplished so much this year, from book sale to writing contest to scholarship to election forum to state convention.  I am always amazed with this vibrant, intelligent, and fun-loving group and what we contribute to our communities.  I'm looking forward to a fun summer and hope you have a great one, too.  Relax and recharge your batteries for next year.  Thanks to all of you, especially Jane, for making my term a wonderful experience.

May Branch Meeting


On Tuesday, May 10, we will have our annual salad supper, followed by the installation of next year's officers and the presentation of the Eleanor Granum Award and other branch awards. This is always a time of good food and good fellowship and we celebrate a year of positive programs and projects. 

Note the earlier starting time for this special meeting:  6:00!

 

Book Sorting to Begin Soon!


On May 7, a large contingent of branch members met at the Friends of the Library Used Book Sale in Perry to pack up several car loads of the Friends of the Library's left over books and take them to our sorting/pricing spot in Byron. These boxes of books were added to an already respectable pile (see below), and Marlene promises that the sorting/pricing summer routine will begin soon. So, stay tuned to the Google group for details. 



 





ATTENTION ALL OF YOU CREATIVE MEMBERS!


From Jane Winston:
I will be taking over the Cherokee Rosebud this fall since I will be the corresponding secretary.  I need your help, and I know you will be excited about this creative opportunity!  Each month I want a photo or two from the membership along with a drawing, poem, prayer, tall tale, joke….you name it!  Get it!  I want your contributions, and I will send out a Google memo toward the end of the summer soliciting these items.  Won’t you help me out???  It is time to get your talents out from under that basket!
