 Sunday, March 19, 2023, 3 to 5 p.m.
 
Carole L. Ellis Auditorium
Petaluma SRJC Campus
 
Those of us on the planning team for LUNAFEST are so excited about this upcoming event, which will be Sunday, March 19 from 3 to 5 pm. We are hoping to sell out the Ellis Auditorium at the Petaluma campus of SRJC with AAUW members, our friends and families, high school and college students and the Petaluma community.
 
You might consider purchasing tickets soon.Tickets are $18 for adults and $10 for students. The JC is providing free parking for us. The films are recommended for ages 13 and up. We have only 240 tickets to sell. Click HERE for the ticket link.
 
You may be asking, what is LUNAFEST?
LUNAFEST is a popular festival hosted as a fund-raiser by some of our sister AAUW groups in other parts of the state. We are starting small this year, with low-cost tickets, a lovely venue at our Petaluma branch of the JC and free Luna Bars.
 
The 2023 version of LUMAFEST is a group of 7 short films, produced by women. The combined length is 95 minutes followed by a discussion of the films. Click HERE to see the trailer.

​Here’s a word from Kit Crawford, co-creator of the LUNA Bar company:
It’s about giving women the opportunity to tell their stories and opening the door for filmmakers who might not otherwise be given the chance to show their art.

Our hope, in offering this event, is to support female film makers, provide a community event that gains publicity for our branch, watch thought- provoking films, and have fun. We have benefitted from having generous sponsors and will definitely raise funds to support scholarships and the programs of the state and national AAUW.

All proceeds go to Petaluma AAUW Funds.

It is that most important time of year when nominations for Named Gift Honoree are being accepted. This is the Branch's opportunity to recognize a member for outstanding service to the branch.
 
Nominations should be made in writing and submitted to Funds VPs. Your nomination letter should include examples of the individual's contributions to the branch and must be signed by at least one current member. Any outstanding community service and professional activities should also be listed but are secondary in importance in the selection process. Nominating a past honoree is permissible when appropriate.

Funds Announcement
 
ANNUAL NON-EVENT FUNDRAISER
FOR LOCAL AND NATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS
BEGINS IN FEBRUARY

 
Be on the lookout in February for your invitation to Petaluma AAUW’s Non-Event.
 
You will receive information about contributing to scholarships for students at local high schools, Santa Rosa Junior College, and Sonoma State University. You may also choose to support AAUW National for their scholarship and legal advocacy funds. Donations will be accepted from February through April of 2023.

We have heard from past recipients of our Petaluma AAUW scholarships that our support made a huge difference in supporting deserving women in their pursuit of higher education and career aspirations. With today’s students facing rising costs of tuition and living costs, our help is needed more than ever.

Your invitation to participate with full details will be in the mail soon. Thank you!
