DECEMBER MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
As some of you have heard, Sharon Spinardi has had to resign as President of the Merced Branch of AAUW due to health reasons. As President-Elect, I will be stepping into the President position for the remainder of the 2025-2026 year. Although this transition took place a little bit earlier than was planned, I am happy to take the reins.
I would like to thank Sharon for her leadership. I have known her for many years, and I have come to appreciate and admire her commitment to every role she has taken on throughout these years. Now is the time for her to step back and concentrate on herself and her health. Best wishes are sent to Sharon for a quick return to full health!
I would also like to share my appreciation for the wonderful AAUW Past-Presidents and Board Members who have generously offered their support during this transition. Women lifting up and supporting other women – it’s what we do!
Just a brief introduction: My family moved to Merced when I was 2 years old. My father was one of the first faculty members hired for Merced College. I attended local schools (Go MHS Bears!) and obtained my degrees at Merced College, CSU Sacramento and CSU Stanislaus. I worked for Merced City School District as both a teacher and a site administrator for 37 years. My late husband Bob and I have two children – Ted and Grace.
I am looking forward to seeing you all at our Holiday Tea on Sunday, December 7th at Terrie Rohrer’s house! I feel like I already know so many of you and hope to meet some new faces as well!
Happy Holidays!
