Welcome to the Brainerd Branch! We are a group
of creative, intelligent women who are fun to interact with. Our group
provides opportunities to learn, meet new people, and sample some great
food! We support the AAUW mission by co-sponsoring public candidate forums
and raising money for the Educational Foundation, including our local CLC
scholarship. If you'd like to try us out, contact me.
Sincerely, Pat Scott, President |
