DECEMBER MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Warm and cozy early winter greetings AAUW!
Let’s be honest. There comes a day every August when it’s 110 outside…AGAIN… and we say to ourselves, “Why the *bleep* do we live here?” Well, we just had our answer. Who needs Vermont when we have autumn in Merced??! When those green trees (don’t get me wrong – we do LOVE our shade) turn glorious hues of amber, copper, and scarlet. When gardens take on a special glow and streets are canopied with more color than our eyes can drink in. When the harvest (be it fields & groves or backyard beds) is in and we pause a moment to say a heartfelt thanks for abundance and beauty and togetherness.
In this season of gratitude and holiday cheer, I’m thinking about one group of ladies who month after month – year after year – bring fun and excitement to our branch of AAUW. I’m talking about those unsung heroes – the Interest Section leaders!
I know you’re good about thanking these leaders, but let’s all remember to say an extra thank you during this holiday season. Our section leaders create opportunities for so much joy and laughter, good food & adventure -and best of all – togetherness. So, CHEERS (and thanks) to all of you who make it all happen!
Speaking of good cheer, a special reminder to bring $25/over 62 years ($45/under) for our trip to Yosemite on Saturday, March 29th (cash or checks) to our annual tea.
