Make your plans now to attend the AAUW NC Fall Meeting. Here’s the registration form and the hotel information.

The summer issue has recaps of the spring convention, branch news, and discussions of the future of AAUW NC.

Though the US House passed the Paycheck Fairness Act in early 2009, it has not yet passed the Senate. This is an important, long-range piece of legislation. Please let Senators Burr and Hagan know that you support this act. There is much more information at www.aauw.org.
