July 4, 2017 – Morgan Hill 4th of July Parade
Save the Date! This is an AAUW Morgan Hill tradition!
After many years our famous AAUW flag drill team is being retired. This year, to show who benefits from AAUW Morgan Hill’s fundraising, our Tech Trek and scholarship recipients will ride in two decorated vintage cars. Member Susan Anderson has volunteered her bright yellow 1935 Ford, and Edie Atkins, mother of scholarship recipient Jordyn, is securing an additional vintage car. Edie also has graciously volunteered to organize us this year.
Members who wish to walk alongside and in back of the cars should contact Edie 408-594-1402.
July 12, 2017 – Tech Trek Branch Member Visit Day
AAUW Morgan Hill branch members are invited to visit AAUW Tech Trek at Stanford, Camp Marie Curie!
Wednesday July 12, 9:00 – 10:30 am
RSVP by June 23
Visit Camp Curie and see what a Tech Trek Camper’s day is like. You will meet the Camp Director, Pat Ivester, and her staff and have an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about Tech Trek and the Stanford Curie camp.
You will also visit the campers in their core classes and see the dorm and other areas on campus used in the program. And along the way, you will enjoy the lovely Stanford campus. This is a great opportunity to see how the money you earned for camperships is used, to see these young women in action and to know that you are helping them gain knowledge and confidence in STEM.
If you wish to attend, please send me your name, branch, phone # and e-mail address. The number of visitors is limited to a TOTAL of 20 to limit the impact on the camp activities. Maps and directions will be e-mailed at the end of June. Please RSVP to Joy by June 23.
