Don’t fret about another AAUW meeting at noon on December 13th. No business to consider.
Do think about meeting your friends at Pat M’s house on that date, 6:00, no ornament exchange, no agenda.
If you feel like bringing a snack, fine. If you don’t, fine. No pressure.
You don’t have to bring any gift cards for our annual Christmas giving. Cash is just fine. We will be donating to the library program (1000 books before kindergarten) and to support two college students who came through the foster program at DHS. Both worthy causes.
If you want to donate but can’t endure one more party, contact a member and let her bring your donation.
If you like Christmas parties and want to play a game or sing a song, please come. We need some creativity. My idea of entertainment is wine.

A forum for current and aspiring business owners and their supporters.

Tech Savvy is a daylong conference designed for girls in sixth through ninth grade and intended to encourage them to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).  The program is also designed to inform families about STEM education and careers, and to expand awareness of educators and other adults in understanding the important role they play in inspiring girls in these fields.

Although the program focuses on exciting girls about STEM, Tech Savvy also includes a simultaneous track for parents and other adults in the girls’ lives. Presentations and hands-on- activities will engage girls and broaden their exposure to the world of opportunities available to girls in STEM fields.  Concurrent presentations will guide adults to reinforce the girls’ interest in STEM. Keep reading for more details on the program for girls, their families and other interested adults.
