September 12th Marks Petaluma’s
AAUW Fall Social

Where social life meets social change through a great network of Petaluma’s most interesting women!
Come join us!

The 2010-2011 year for Petaluma AAUW kicks off with the Fall Social on Sunday, September 12 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The meeting will be held at the lovely home of branch co-president Nancy Lefler at 474 Middle Two Rock Rd, Petaluma 94952 off Bodega Hwy.

Although the Lefler property is spacious, carpooling is strongly suggested. Petalumans can meet at the parking lot across the street from the Petaluma Library by 12:30 p.m. Since we will be enjoying the fresh air on the deck, please dress accordingly since the weather may be warm and/or breezy.

The Social provides an overview of activities past and future. Enthusiastic branch officers will share plans for a dynamic new year filled with social activities such as hiking, bridge and dining and social change activities such as exploring ways to reduce bullying in our schools.

Members are encouraged to bring two things – prospective new members and donations for the Legal Advocacy Fund bake sale. If you’re interested in donating, you can bring either baked goods or small household items either useful or decorative for a silent auction.

Our guests are expected to include some of the Petaluma eighth-grade attendees to this summer’s Tech Trek. Hearing about their adventures at the AAUW-sponsored math and science camps is always uplifting. For the first time, our Petaluma girls attended Tech Trek at Sonoma State University rather than Stanford. For more details contact: Co-vice presidents/program, Pam Granger, 778-6411 or Gloria DeBlasio-Purwin, 778-7381.
