As June races to its conclusion, even though meetings are not held, many members have been involved in AAUW branch activities. New Board members have met to discuss the schedule for the coming year. Many ideas have been bandied around for our celebration of our 75th year in Nevada County. Standing Committee members received the Governance handbook which clears up any confusion about what we should or shouldn't be doing. Knowing the correct procedure for activities and our positions helps to have the organization run much more smoothly.
Part of the committee for the 75th celebration is researching historical facts about the beginnings of the branches involvement in Nevada County. They will be meeting periodically through the summer.
One group of members were delighted to help the ILP (Independent Living Program) celebrate the graduation of the Seniors in the group. The women provided food for the festivities held at Seven Hills in Nevada City. There was enough food for seconds and then some! Avery generous group of women!
One interest group has decided to continue through the summer. The Hiking Group will be having a wonderful outing in July when they plan a walk in the Fuller Lake/ Lake Spaulding area.
More next week!
