ADMINISTRATOR’S MESSAGE FROM HARRIET

Well Hello everyone. We’re getting close to the first meeting date for our AAUW meeting on September 19^th at Heritage Park. We’ll be meeting earlier this month which will work out well since we’re going to be tasting everyone’s pot luck dish.

Remember when you were in elementary school coming back after summer vacation and had to write an essay on “What I did on my Summer Vacation”? I hope you all have great stories to tell and I promise, as Administrator, I will not grade anyone on grammar or content.

I’m looking forward to an interesting and fun year. I would love to support the Cerritos College store, Falcon’s Nest, with items of need by the women. If you agree, I will have a list of the items in most need and hopefully we can start collecting in October.

See you on the 19^th at 5:00P.M.

Your Administrator Harriet  💐🪻🌷

Meeting & Program, Celia

Thursday, September 19 Potluck Time:  5:00 PM
Meeting:  6 PM, 18600 Bloomfield Ave, Cerritos,

Our branch kickoff meeting will be on Thursday, September 19, in the building at Heritage Park,18600 Bloomfield Ave, Cerritos, .  (This is where we have had a number of branch planning meetings in recent years.)  We will start at 5:00 p.m., earlier than usual due to facility time constraints.  As usual, we will have a potluck and this year would like it to have an international theme.  Please bring an appetizer, salad (veggies or fruit), main course item (probably to serve eight) or a dessert.

After dinner, various branch members will talk about plans for the coming year and you will be able to sign up for interest groups.  Like last year, we will ask for volunteers to do some of the jobs previously done by elected board members, specifically for Program, Membership and Fund.  You will find out where help is needed, usually for just one meeting or event, and hopefully will volunteer to help.  We need everyone to do a little bit so that our branch can continue to exist.

Board and general meetings are in-person with due respect to members who cannot attend in-person.  Those members may choose to easily attend and participate in meetings by connecting via phone to another member in attendance.

Please welcome and support your new officers.  Remember that their job is to lead and encourage other members.  Please offer to help them when they ask.

Future meetings will be:
Place: Cabrillo Lane Adult School Auditorium
20122 Cabrillo Lane, Cerritos
