Musings from
Andie
Greeting ladies!
I hope your summer went well and that you're refreshed. And
I realize you may have gone off your diets with all that ice
cream down at Dairy Queen. But I have high hopes for us.
Diane has come up with a great list of programs, and I've
been busy trying to think up extra things we can get
involved with so we can get our name in the paper, and with
that, more exposure. I am also willing, with permission of
the club, to visit the two high schools in the area and talk
to the older students about AAUW. I have a sneaking
suspicion that we should do this.
Also, I'll try to contact the AAUM. I believe the local
branch is in State College and if I make a few phone calls
I could probably find a contact person to have a joint
program or project.
Alright now...listen up. Do a couple of push-ups, run
around the block a few times, and lift some weights because
we have a great year coming up and we have to be ship-shape.
And with that, roger, wilco, over and out!
Andie

First Meeting
Thursday
September 4
5:30 p.m. |
 |
Lock Haven Hospital’s Extended Care Community Room
Please bring a covered dish to share. Your table
service (plate, napkin, flatware, etc) will be supplied.
We look forward to a crowd and a wonderful start to a
great year for our branch!
Directions to the Community Room
L.H. Hospital’s Extended Care Unit (ECU)
 Facing
the Hospital from Cree Drive (the hospital’s
main entrance), the ECU is located on the west
(right) side. It is separated from the main
building by a drive/underpass.
Use the entrance to the western-most parking lot
(which leads directly into the ECU); ample
parking should be available in that lot. Enter
through the ECU’s double-doors and walk straight
ahead to the community room. |

 From the Educational FOUNDATION Chair... |

The Lock Haven Branch of AAUW
has awarded educational aid for 2008-09 to five outstanding
women. Four of the awardees are in graduate school, and one
is pursuing a nursing career.
The undergraduate award is
named in honor of Pamela Piette, a former member of our
Branch, who is retired and lives in Illinois. Pam continues
to contribute to our scholarship fund annually.
Recipient of this year’s
Pamela Piette Undergraduate Award is Ashley Greene. Ashley
is changing her career pathway from a teacher of physical
education to become a registered nurse. She is a
student at Pennsylvania College of Technology.
The graduate awards are named
in memory of Marilyn Gardner, a Lock Haven Branch past
president and division (state) past president. One of the
awardees, Stephanie Reichelderfer, has completed her MA
degree at Temple University, and is continuing on for her
Ph.D. in history at the University of Maryland. She hopes
to pursue post-doctoral research and to teach at the college
level. Stephanie graduated from Lock Haven High School and
Lock Haven University. She is married and has summer
employment as a reading teacher. This fall, she will work
part-time at the National Archives and Records
Administration.
A second Marilyn Gardner
Graduate Award goes to Julie Story, an instructor in the
Department of Academic Development and Counseling at Lock
Haven University. Julie is pursuing her D.Ed. degree in
Educational Leadership, with emphasis in Curriculum and
Instruction, at the University of Phoenix Online. Both
Julie and Stephanie also won AAUW educational aid last year.
They are extremely enthusiastic about their academic work,
and have big plans for the future.
A third Marilyn Gardner
Graduate Award goes to Gail Hanlon. Gail is a legislative
aide in Mike Hanna’s Lock Haven office. She has two teenage
boys, one in college at Lock Haven University. Hoping to
expand her ability to provide community outreach services,
Gail is beginning a Master of Liberal Arts degree at LHUP
this fall.
The fourth recipient of a
Marilyn Gardner Graduate Award is Megan Smith, who graduated
from Penn State as an English major. Megan plans to take a
Master’s of Education degree in Curriculum and Instruction
at Bloomsburg University.
The Lock Haven Branch of AAUW
is grateful to Thrivent Financial which matched $1600 of our
Book Sale dollars. Many thanks go out to all our members
and others who helped at the Book Sale, with special thanks
to Chairpersons Toni Tomasi and Carol Hildebrand. Thanks
also to the Educational Aid Awards Committee members: Amy
Carroll, Carol Hildebrand, Jackie Whitling, Michele Long,
and Roberta Doyle. They worked thoughtfully and diligently
to assure that the awards were fair and appropriate.
Most of the award recipients
will be able to attend the September dinner meeting. Please
plan to come and give them a warm welcome.
