MARCH PROGRAM
The past two year’s AAUW Petaluma Women’s Film Festival were fun, engaging and well received by our members and the wider community. This year’s films will feature uplifting stories celebrating diversity, courage, and joy in overcoming life’s challenges. Many of the films were written by, directed and/or produced by women.
As a special treat this year, our film festival will also include a short film and speakers telling the story of Life on Art.

You may have seen their winged hearts at the Butter and Egg Parade or other places around town. Life on Art is a Petaluma based organization that uses art as a platform for social actions and healing.
Once again we will be at the Carole L. Ellis Auditorium at the Petaluma Campus of SRJC. Parking is free.
Advance tickets are $18 for adults, $10 for students; $20 at the door, cash only. Please order tickets online through our Petaluma AAUW website, AAUWPetaluma.com (click HERE). Tickets will be free to full-time SRJC students as space allows, at 1:50 pm.
We know you won’t want to miss this year’s FilmFest: an important community event for us to share AAUW’s mission of advancing gender equity for women and girls.
Every year in March and April, our branch raises money for:
This year’s Non-Event will honor Women We Admire. If there was a special female who inspired you, we would love to hear about her impact on you.

APRIL PROGRAM - Save the date!
Celebrate the Earth: Try the Train
Saturday, April 5, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
Petaluma North Smart Station
Train ride and lunch
RSVP to Jean Reed (click HERE)
For our April branch program, our EcoEd Section invites you to explore one of the alternatives to gas vehicle transportation: Sonoma Marin Area Rapid Transit (SMART). Specifically, we’ll discover how relatively easy it is to get to the Sonoma County Airport aboard SMART.
Meet at the recently opened Petaluma North Station (N. McDowell and Corona Rd.) at 10:00 am on Saturday, April 5th. Parking for the day is free. We’ll start with a brief orientation and board the 10:17 am northbound train. We’ll disembark at the Sonoma County Airport Station at Airport Blvd. in Santa Rosa and then take the shuttle to the airport, where we’ll relax and have lunch before making the trip back home.
If you’d prefer to skip the orientation and leave from the Petaluma Downtown Station, the northbound train will leave there at 10:12 am. We’ll see you aboard!
Also, if you are over 65 your ride is free. Younger folk will pay a nominal fare via the Clipper App. You may want to download this App ahead of time along with the Ride Pingo App for ordering shuttle rides. However, this is not necessary as we’ll be demonstrating use of both apps and collectively setting up our shuttle ride at orientation.
