President’s Message
Good Day Members,
Linda Frye, with
support from the Bylaws Committee (Jackie Whitling, Carol
Hildebrand, Elizabeth Brobst and Diane Whitaker), presented
the mandatory changes to be made and various non-mandatory
changes we may wish to make to our Bylaws. The packet was
sent to State and sent back with a few corrections for the
mandatory changes and suggestions for non-mandatory
changes. I’m sure Linda will be able to update us at the
November meeting.
Another issue we
are all concerned about is the payment of our AAUW dues to
State and National. I have been assured from Angela that
deposits were made and the checks were mailed.
Our next meeting
will be held at Ross Library, November 5 at 7 p.m. We will
hear April Henry speak on Leadership Clinton County, which
encourages the growth of individual potential. Are there
AAUW members, other than President Diane, that have gone
through the program? Our hostess that night is Andie
Bennett.
Till we meet in November

 December
in November
AAUW’s December meeting
will rush the holiday season a little and occur in November.
We will be attending the LHU's Community concert on Sunday,
November 22, at 3:00 in Price Auditorium at LHU. After the
concert the group plans on going to Uncle Albert’s, 312 N.
Vesper Street, Lock Haven, for dinner.
Parking for the concert
will be in the lot near the PUB and in the
lot off Fairview Street which was the former location of the
Silk Mill. A shuttle bus will be running beginning at 2:15
from both of these locations and will also run after the
concert.
PLEASE contact Laura Long
(748-7316) if you are planning on attending the supper
afterwards so that she can let Uncle Albert’s know how many
to expect. |

Educational Foundation
This note was
received from one of our scholarship recipients:
AAUW Members,
Thank you all for your generosity in awarding me a grant to
continue my education. Meeting you all at the dinner held
in September was truly a pleasure and something I will
cherish. You all are amazing women that I feel privileged
to have met, and I promise to work hard not to let you
down. Have a great year and best of luck in your endeavors!
Thank you again for everything! This donation made it
possible for me to continue my education. For that I am
truly grateful.
Sincerely,
Kristi Byrne
Beth Brobst is the
Chair of the Educational Foundation. |

AAUW Sets the Record
Straight: Headlines
Corporate
lobbyists forged one or more letters from AAUW to
members of Congress. This blatant act of fraud is
unacceptable. As AAUW's Linda Hallman and Lisa
Maatz have pointedly said, "how dare they trade on
AAUW's good reputation?" The media and online
community have echoed our concerns and indignation.
