APRIL MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Here it is the end of our year for AAUW. Our last big event is the Spring Brunch. This year we are having it on April 27, 2024, at Linda Lucas’ home, 2501 St. Augustine Ct. in Merced. It will be my last meeting as the President. I have really enjoyed my term – especially all the laughing at the Board meetings. My favorite events this year included the yoga class and the travelogue of Florence, Italy, presented by Ruth Wax. A special thanks goes out to our two Science Camp leaders, Dena Traina and Kathleen Hull. They both have other hard jobs on the board as newsletter and website developers. Double kudos for them. Megan Anderson is the best
treasurer and Kathleen McElwain is the best secretary.

We will be installing a new board at the brunch. We are still looking for a Leader for the Interest Sections.  This year, I managed to read Lessons in Chemistry, by Bonnie Garmus. It was suggested at our last Spring Brunch. So good. I believe that you are not lazy if you are reading a book. Maybe we will get another book list this year.

Keep in touch, go to sections this summer, if they are available. Have fun.

Your outgoing President, Sue Chappell
