Activities
Educational
Equity Task Group is charged with implementing

schools and the community as a whole. The emphasis is
on assuring females equal access and participation in education
and careers, particularly in the areas of math, science, and
technology.

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.
Round
Robin Bridge raises over $1000 each year
for scholarships. The groups meet each month from September
until June in homes around Naperville. Winners are
announced in July or August
. 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 groups of ten pairs of players.
Monthly, each pair plays one of the other nine pairs. 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.
Please E-mail
Us if you
are interested in playing.
Great
Decisions, jointly sponsored by the AAUW Naperville Branch and the Naperville Public
Libraries, meets at the Naper Boulevard Library at 7:15 p.m. on consecutive
Thursdays from January 21 through March 18.
A group also will meet in members’ homes on Tuesday mornings at 9:15
a.m., beginning January 19 through March 16. This discussion group is open to the
public and will study and discuss eight foreign policy issues analyzed in a
briefing book prepared by the editors of the Foreign Policy Association. One topic is covered each week. Topics included
are: transnational crime, China looks at
the world, the global financial crisis, Europe's far east, US
and the Persian Gulf, and enhancing security through peacebuilding.
Guests are
invited to attend any of the discussions. For
