Where did our summer go? It seemed that it was going to be all rain for awhile, but we have had some excellent late summer weather, and members are making the most of it with vacation destinations and staycations in scenic Vermont.
Please join us for our Annual Fall Picnic at the Willow Park upper pavilion on September 9 (noon – 2:00). It is a potluck, so please bring a main or side dish, salad or dessert to share. We invite you to bring your own plate and utensils, to save on paper & plastic waste. But don’t worry, we will have plates, cups, utensils etc. if you prefer to use them. You are also invited to bring board games, cards, and other forms of entertainment and fun! See you there! —Althea Church, Hospitality Co-Chair.

Important Note from Jan Day, our Treasurer:
Whenever a check is sent to me for our branch, it should just be made out to “AAUW” or the bank won’t let us deposit it.
