Ongoing Activities
Educational Equity Task Group is charged with implementing key findings of AAUW research in projects that involve local 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.

Morning Book Browsers get together monthly to discuss a particular book.  They meet on the fourth Thursday of the month at 9:15 AM. Morning Book Browsers (2009 - 2010 list)

Evening Book Browsers usually meet on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. in members' homes.  Evening Book Browsers (2009 - 2010 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.

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 more information, call Ruth Heidorn, 630-355-3981.
