PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE: You are cordially invited to our Holiday Party and Auction on November 18, Sunday, 2 to 4 p.m. in the Board Room of Onslow Memorial Hospital. One of the most enjoyable activities of the year, this event allows us to raise money for the Educational Fund and Legal Advocacy Fund while socializing in a festive atmosphere. More details below.
Also, at this time of year we pause to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives. Among them are all of you, our dedicated AAUW members. We are a small branch but we accomplish amazing things locally and outside our region.
Happy Thanksgiving!

This event takes place December 1 – 3 at the American Legion Building, Broadhurst Road, Jacksonville. We are purchasing a tree and decorating it in an “Equity in Education” theme. We need volunteers to decorate the tree on November 30 between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. We need decorations in a white and teal-ish theme, especially a tree skirt. Do you have any little books you can donate? Also, we need lights. Contact Heather at hksalc@yahoo.com or Sue at suecurrie@charter.net.
