President’s Message, Harriet
Seeing and hearing the Tech Trek girls each year has always left me with a sense of pride that we, AAUW women, are giving young girls a fantastic opportunity for growth and knowledge that a great outside world exists for them. Hopefully we can continue to send more girls each year. At the LAF meeting last month I heard that one branch sends 15 girls. What a goal.
Hope to see you all at the League of Women Voters program for October. It’s vital we make informed decisions on the propositions.

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!
