AAUW Fund, Joan P, Gail R.
The La Palma-Cerritos branch of AAUW created our own memorial fund in July 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!
Elsie will be our speaker at our annual
AAUW Fundraising Luncheon on Saturday, February 9.
