NOVEMBER LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
By Roxann King
AAUW AAC members one and all, welcome to Fall! It is by far our busiest season and can be a lot of fun as well. We hosted a very interesting Fall Conference for AAUW Maryland on Saturday, September 18, at Woods Church. I am extremely grateful to Alice Harrison, Stacey Hilder, Susan Crawford, and Joyce Moyer for helping to make everything run smoothly. And thank you to the twenty some members who worked at our very large last book collection the same day! Collections are over and we are beginning work on preparations for the book sale which starts on Thursday, November 6, and ends on Sunday, November 9. We hope to finish preparations by November 5, when we celebrate the opening with Members’ Night from 6 – 7:30 p.m. This year the sale is after Election Day, so that it does not conflict with any election-related activities. We are hoping for the best book sale ever, and plenty of funds for this year’s scholarships.
The book sale eclipses any other event in November! Thank you to all of these members who participated in book sale collections from August through October: Betsy Bannat, Kristi Bleyer, Susan and Jay Crawford, Maggy Cullman, Laney Forge, Suzanne Furr, Teresa Gilbert, Janet Guthrie, Alice Harrison, Stacey Hilder, Nan Jarashow, Colleen Kane, Roxann King, Barbara Marder, Michelle MacIntire, Mary McGrath, Joyce Moyer, Cindy Neseth, Linda Peco-DeHoff, Niv Roy Ghatak, Nancy Stow, Martha Swift, Sarah Wilson, and Patricia Wyatt. You all did a wonderful job and those books are ready to be sold! We will all see each other soon at the sale! Thank you all for being such a wonderful team!
