Bring Items for Raffle to the Annual Meeting March 27 & 28
Please bring upscale items including baskets, artwork, handmade crafts, goods and services gift cards, etc. with you when you come to the annual meeting. The raffle replaces the traditional silent auction and the Hendersonville branch are the coordinators for this event. The raffle will be open from 3:00 p.m. on Friday, March 27, until 12:15 p.m. on Saturday. The winners drawn for each item will be announced during the lunch hour. You will be able to purchase raffle tickets using cash, check or credit card.
The AAUW NC Board has directed that the raffle proceeds this year will go to support the collaborative STEM education project involving The Wake Forest School of Medicine’s Center of Excellence for Research, Teaching and Learning (CERTL), North Carolina Science Education Leadership Association (NCSLA), and AAUW North Carolina. Plan to attend the Interest Session at the AAUW NC Annual Meeting and Conference to hear Christi Whitworth, State STEM Chair, describe this important project and how the AAUW NC branches will be involved.
