And don’t forget the January Project:
OCCASION:
In the celebration of 100 years of the AAUW of Virginia, the AAUW of Virginia is asking the branches to donate 100 items to a project/charity of their choice and take pictures to send for the celebration.
Our branch collected over 300 items for the VCU Heartbeats program!
VCU HEARTBEATS PROGRAM BACKGROUND:
The Heartbeats program at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) is a program that aims to reduce maternal deaths from domestic violence, systemic racism, and other risks to pregnant and postpartum survivors of intimate partner violence.
GRAAUW HELPED TO GET OUT THE VOTE!
Thank you to all who took the time to write and mail postcards and/or make phone calls to get out the vote.
August and September 2024 were busy months!
We had an amazing weekend at the AAUW Atlantic
Regional Conference which was held Sept 27th – 29th. There were
tremendous speakers on a wide variety of topics and it was a terrific opportunity for networking. Our local branch provided rides for some attendees arriving by plane or train. We also packed goody bags for the over 100 conference participants on Thursday and registered and welcomed people to the conference that weekend.
