Beginning next summer, Tech Trek will have a 9th camp, at U.C. Davis. Planning for this camp has been underway since February with Lisa Beauchamp of the Sacramento branch as camp director. She will be ably assisted by Deedee Hays also of the Sacramento branch. Stay tuned for further information.
Our inaugural presentation will be by Elahe Amani, former AAUW-CA International Chair, and a world renowned activist for women's issues, especially in the Middle East.
You are welcome to try the Online branch through this presentation without joining. Please mail caralex@verizon.net to be added to this exciting and current presentation. We have a full schedule of programming in which you can fully participate without having to leave your home!
On Thursday, August 26, the Benicia-Vallejo Branch celebrated the 90th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the US constitution which granted women the right to vote. Organized by B-V's Public Policy chair, Nancy Parent-Smith, the very successful event was attended by a number of elected officials, a reporter from the local newspaper and 40-50 branch members. Sue Miller, AAUW CA Vice President/Public Policy Director was a featured speaker.
Greetings from the 30th triennial IFUW Conference in Mexico City. IFUW (www.ifuw.org)which stands for International Federation of University Women is a collective of Federations (like AAUW) from all over the world. AAUW was a member for many years but financial considerations precluded continued membership. The United States is now represented by Women Graduates-USA (www.wg-usa.org).

AAUW Funds Director, Lorelei Self, reports that new forms for 2010-11 have been posted under AAUW Funds in the Forms & Documents section of this website.
These new forms are to be used as we send branch and individual contributions to the national office of AAUW, a recent change in the process for donations to the funds.
Lorelei advises branch AAUW Funds chairs to download and begin using these forms right away.
How many of us have children who are graduating from college this year? My daughter graduated in June from Cal State East Bay, and I gave her the gift of AAUW membership. If our children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews don't join, how can we expect everyone else to join?
I just filled out the Give a Grad a Gift Application on the National website www.aauw.org.
The AAUW CA Board of Directors has agreed to wave the California 2010-2011 state dues for these new members. If the new member decides to join a branch, she will only need to pay the branch dues.
Please give a gift to new grads.
Jean Simutis, AAUW CA Parliamentarian
