Evening Book Browsers (2007 - 2008 list) Annual Used Book Sale -- our main fundraiser for our local scholarship and fellowships and grants for women administered through AAUW's Educational Foundation. Over 10,000 volumes are offered for sale each June.
Are you a bridge player? We are looking for individual women, pairs of women or couples to complete the Round Robin Bridge games sponsored by AAUW. Each year AAUW organizes bridge players in flights of ten pairs of players. Monthly, each pair plays one of the other nine pairs in the flight. Players do not need to be members of AAUW. Both a fundraiser and a good way to meet people, this has been an AAUW project for many years. This year there are openings in both the women's evening flights and in the couple's evening flights. Please E-mail Us if you are interested in playing.
