Gun Violence Day, June 2
Wear Orange to Honor Survivors of Gun Violence
We are heartbroken for everyone impacted by the senseless violence in Uvalde, TX (a predominantly Latinx community) and Buffalo, NY (which is predominantly Black) – and too many other places to name. We need leaders at every level to prioritize gun safety now. Moms Demand Action is one source for common sense actions to contain gun violence.
Co-Presidents Jean Reed and Anne Taylor

Something new this year!
A Picnic! A Celebration!
When: June 26, noon – 2 (or however long we want to stay)
Where: McNear Park (11th between F and G Streets)
Who: You, of course, and household members
What to bring: A dish to share (you decide what category), plate, glass, cutlery for each person, lawn chair if you are not a “bench” person.
Feels like it is time to get as much of the branch together as we can, and have an outdoor party.
We will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX (actually we’ll be a few days late, but who's counting?), and at least one birthday of a member. Emphasis will be on having a good time. The drinks and a celebratory cake will be provided, and we hope you can make it.
If you have not yet joined AAUW for the coming year (2022-2023), our Membership VP will be accepting checks that day.
Please RSVP
Hope to see you there.
