The
St. Paul branch was honored to host the Minnesota AAUW State Convention, April
25–27, 2008. Those who were able to attend visited our clubhouse, and
realized that the St. Paul branch is unique in that we have our own clubhouse
and staff. We have programs every Tuesday, starting at 11 a.m., followed by
lunch at noon and another program at 1 p.m. The programs are outstanding. We have an active
membership with a wide variety of interests. We have three bridge groups, a
travel group, and two book clubs. Great Decisions discussion groups meet the
third Tuesday afternoon of each month. Our fundraising activities
include an August tea in our garden, a nut sale, a book sale, Happenings book
sales, and gift cards from two local nurseries. This has made it possible to
contribute to the Educational Foundation, Legal Advocacy Fund, and our
Scholarship Trust for high school students and an adult returning to school to
complete a college degree. The St. Paul branch has
reconnected with the Women’s Advocate Shelter, which opened in 1974, and was
the nation’s first shelter for battered women and children. St. Paul AAUW
was involved in those early years. The donations our members made this year
have helped the shelter and our mission. We are flourishing because
of the outstanding work of our committee members.
