ADMINISTRATOR’S MESSAGE FROM HARRIET

Hello everyone. We’re going to have a fun night for the March meeting celebrating Women’s month. I hope to see you all there.

The January meeting included the nominating of officers. We have candidates for Treasurer and Secretary, Marilyn Forsstrom and Chris Taxier , but we need nominees for Administrator. Without this position the La Palma Cerritos branch of AAUW will not exist. There are options. We can either have one person who has this position or like we have done before several people who have each month with one who chooses to accept the primary job so National has a name to email to.  The duties are to have a board meeting when necessary, receive email from CA and National AAUW, and conduct the monthly meetings. You would also be available for the members when needed.  Please let me know if you choose to participate in this position.

Your Administrator Harriet  💐🪻🌷

Meeting & Program

Please join us to help celebrate Women’s History Month at our next branch meeting on Thursday, March 20 at Social at 6:30, Meeting at 7pm.  We will be remembering American women who made history… but not the books! We will look back to the incredible deeds of women during the American Revolution, all the way up to the present time.  We will discuss some of the remarkable women who have made important contributions to our society but went largely unnoticed.  Please bring a pen. We will provide activity sheets and the stories of these unheralded women.  We look forward to seeing you!

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
