Hotel information for AAUW NC 2009 Convention

Plan now to attend the AAUW NC 2009 convention at the Blockade Runner Hotel, right on the water in Wrightsville Beach.

Most events will be Friday, March 27 with the AAUW NC spring board meeting at the hotel on Saturday morning, March 28. Brief schedule:

• Thursday afternoon: trolley tour of Wilmington
• Friday morning: workshop on “Riding the Wave to Financial Independence”
• Friday afternoon: annual meeting and sessions to discuss the major changes coming to AAUW in 2009
• Friday evening: gala banquet to celebrate 100 years of AAUW in North Carolina

Plan to make a weekend of it — to enjoy other activities recommended by the Wilmington branch (some for spouses/significant others), or just to enjoy the beach in the spring!
