Welcome to the Ballwin-Chesterfield, MO Branch of AAUW!

The Ballwin-Chesterfield Branch was founded in 1981 as the Lafayette Area Branch with 41 charter members and the plan to meet during the day. We have grown steadily over the years, with over 250 members at present.

Branch meetings are held at Trinity Lutheran Church, 14088 Clayton Rd. (at Woodsmill), Chesterfield, MO 63017, on the second Thursdays from September through May, and in July. Guests are ALWAYS welcomed! DIRECTIONS:  From Rt. 141 & Clayton Rd., go east on Clayton 0.3 mi.  Turn right into church, drive to the rear entrance.

Special meetings are:

  • September: Branch Board members host a Fall Welcome Brunch.
  • December: a festive Winter Auction raises funds to support branch activities.
  • May:  an elegant installation and awards luncheon at a local country club.
  • July: members meet at a local park for a lakeside summer picnic.

At meetings, our Program Committee is committed to presenting topics that capture the interest of our members while focusing on the goals that reflect the mission statement of AAUW. Speakers on social justice, health care, economic well-being, equity, human rights, international affairs, and public policy have been heard.

NEXT MEETING:

Thursday, July 12, 11:30AM — SUMMER PICNIC MEETING. We’ll gather lakeside at Creve Coeur Park’s  Sailboat Cove Shelter for a potluck salad luncheon and brief business meeting.  Guests are welcome at this enjoyable event.
