President’s Message, Harriet

We heard the League of Women Voters give us the pros and cons of the propositions on the ballot this year. Now all you have to do is GET OUT AND VOTE on November 6.

Don’t forget to bring the samples of shampoo, toothpaste, etc. to the November meeting. We will listen to the L.A. mission speaker and donate all our samples.

See you at Cerritos Park East on November 15th.

AAUW Film and Lunch for AAUW Fund

The La Palma-Cerritos branch of AAUW created our own memorial fund inJuly 2017, called the Alberta Brose Memorial Fund, to go to women who return to school just as she did.  We currently have completed our goal.  This was a short time, two year fund with a goal of $5000 for completion by June 30, 2019. The branch will get CA State and National recognition for completion. Final donation has gone to AAUW Fund for Career Development Grants for graduate students returning to school after 5+  year absence.

This lady is the recipient of our own Alberta Brose Memorial Fund.  We are proud!
