AAUW/JACKSONVILLE REGIONAL BRANCH OCTOBER 2007 NEWSLETTER

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE: Heather is responding to member requests by scheduling our October speaker, Sheri Slater with Onslow Senior Services. Sheri will fill us in on programs in place to help care for elderly relatives. A number of us in our branch are currently handling this responsibility and could use all the help that is offered. We look forward to Sheri’s remarks.
The New River Officer’s Spouse Club Open House went well last month. Evelyn and I spoke to many interested/interesting women. We also placed an ad in the Club membership directory to keep AAUW in front of the members the entire year. We hope they will join us for some of our events.

AAUW/JACKSONVILLE REGIONAL BRANCH AUGUST 2007 NEWSLETTER

PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE: It’s going to be hard to beat last year’s programs, but we’re going to try. We are starting off the year with a fun outing on Saturday, August 25th. We will meet at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. The Aquarium reopened last year after a $25 million expansion. Let’s see what all the excitement is about! Details below.

Thank you to our new and returning officers – Katharyn (Treasurer), Judy (Secretary), Joanne (VP Membership), Heather (VP Programs) and Connie and Evelyn (Co-Presidents) – for stepping up to the plate and taking a leadership role in the branch. Heather already has a number of great possibilities for programs and would welcome your input if you have a particular area of interest.

We do have one slot that needs to be filled immediately, our Publicity Chair. We need someone to submit our meeting information to area newspapers every month in a timely fashion. If you are available to do this, please contact Connie (910/346-8223).

OUR NEXT ACTIVITY: This is a fun activity just to spend some time together and enjoy a picnic lunch at the North Carolina Aquarium at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 25. We will wander through the newly expanded and remodeled exhibits and then have a leisurely picnic on the grounds. There is a snack bar that serves typical snack-bar fare, or you are welcome to bring your own lunch.

The Aquarium is located five miles west of Atlantic Beach on NC58, Mile Marker 7. Admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors age 62 and over. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes and your AAUW pin. Please contact Connie for carpooling possibilities (910/346-8223 or cgo@ec.rr.com ).
