AAUW to Meet September 6

The Fallon Branch of American Association of University Women will hold its annual Membership Drive on Saturday, Sept. 6. at 11:30 a.m. at The Venue, 111 S. Allen Rd., for a taco bar luncheon. 

AAUW Organizer Kathleen Williams-Miller said the group meets monthly to hear presentations from local organizations, take tours, and they even have their own book club! She said the Fallon Branch of AAUW would love to welcome younger members as most of their members are older. The group meets the first Saturday of each month, and Williams-Miller said meeting attendance isn’t mandatory to maintain membership. All women are invited to join – a college degree isn’t needed to be a part of AAUW.

“We need younger women out there fighting for their rights,” Williams-Miller said.

The Fallon Branch sponsors scholarships for local graduates (boys too!), and many of the members are former scholarship recipients. AAUW empowers women and girls by championing their success in higher education and pushing for bold policy solutions to create lasting change. For more than 140 years, AAUW has led the fight for gender equity in higher education and beyond.
