Meetings

Branch meetings are  held on the second Thursdays, September through May, at 8:45 AM (8:45 sign-ups and registration; 9:30, Business Meeting; 10:45, Speaker; 11:30, Adjournment).

Our next meeting, on March 8, will celebrate Women’s History Month by presenting Barbara Kay, High School Teacher of History, who will present a fully costumed portrayal of  “Dolley Madison, First Lady of the United States”.  Please see the home page for  information.

   Our last meeting was held on Thursday, February 9.   The program featured Jack K. Strauss, PhD. and Simon Chair of Economics Professor, St. Louis University.  His topic was “Is the Economic Crisis Over?  Will it Return?”  A special event following this meeting was a very successful used book sale to benefit AAUW Funds.  Over 800 gently used books were donated by members, and the sale raised $548!  Another  event at this meeting was the annual February LAF Individual Giving opportunity.  (Information on the amount raised will be forthcoming.)  See pictures below!
