General Meeting – Soup Supper Fund Raiser for AAUW Funds
It’s Souper Supper time! Our resident potter (and co-president) Jana Lawton will again bring her homemade soup bowls, which you can take home with your donation of $35 or more to AAUW Funds. Fill up on soup, bread, and cookies provided by our talented branch members (no purchase necessary). Please contact a board member if you’d like to donate some soup. So bring your appetite and your checkbook!
This month’s guest speaker is Sondra Murphy. She is a local historian who will present “Yours for Equal Justice: Suffragist in the Big Pink House“, the story of Annie Bidwell and her connection to the suffragists. It’s a timely topic, especially now that we have a special election on the horizon.
We’ll do some branch business and hand out door prizes too. Invite a guest and join us!
