The details: Looking for stimulation, laughs and personal growth? Want to find all that from the safety and comfort (I hope!) of your couch? Think Book Club! If you think you might be interested in an AAUW Fallbrook book club please contact me, Cynthia Young, via email ([email protected]) or phone/text at 559-356-2536. If email, please use Book Club as the subject. Margie Mosavi and I are suggesting “The Overstory” as a first read. It is the Pulitzer Prize winning 2018 book by Richard Powers that knits the stories of its protagonists together through the larger subject of Trees. This is a suggestion, not a requirement. We’ll make our first official selection when we meet, but feel free to go ahead and read it! 2019-2020 General Meeting PROGRAMS Note Day Change /Time Change/Location Change SUNDAY October 13, Fallbrook Branch Meeting 2-4 pm, Palomares House, 1818 S Stagecoach Lane PROGRAM: Tech Trek Camper Presentations, Larissa Anderson, Chair Hostesses: Lesley Ibaven, Carole Hodges, Maria Viernes Saturday November 2, 2019.

This one-week summer camp is backed by AAUW’s research and designed to make STEM fields exciting and accessible to girls in middle school — the age when girls’ participation in these fields statistically drops. For many girls, the weeklong camp sparks their curiosity and places them on a path toward success. AAUW of California member Marie Wolbach founded Tech Trek in 1998 with the help of an AAUW Community Action Grant. Today AAUW Tech Trek operates at 22 different sites around the nation. A 2013 survey of AAUW Tech Trek alumnae from California demonstrates the program’s lasting effects on many levels, including interest and confidence in STEM fields, decision to pursue those fields, and future career plans. AAUW Tech Trek alumnae surpass the national average in most advanced math and science courses: Camps are held in the summer at campuses around the country. All campers are nominated by their seventh-grade math and science teachers. Girls then apply and are selected by a committee. SAVE THE DATE - 12/14 holiday luau Mahjong Report Our annual Mahjong Tournament was held last Thursday September 26 at the Fallbrook VFW. It was a great success! We raised $1000. The success came because we had many volunteers and many awesome prizes. Thank yous are due to so many of our members who worked on collecting donations, setting up, cleaning up and playing. Araxy spent many hours on the phone drumming up players. She filled 12 tables. So, a big THANK YOU to Araxy. Diane Reeder and Alice Orr headed up the prize committee. Along with their committee members, they donated or collected 30 marvelous items. Elizabeth Leader took care of collecting money $1300, paying our bills, and gave us the good news of netting a $1000. Marilee Ragland was the Queen of Hearts as she walked around selling our tickets to players and helpers for the drawing. Jeanie Curtright worked with Louis of the VFW to provide a very tasty lunch and at a good price! And a special thanks for all of you: Lini Bennett, Maura Marti, Marj Freda, Young Milton, Carlene Friesen, Nancy Heins-Glaser, Leslie Ibaven, Terri Keyes, Bobbie Miller, Young Milton, Margie Mosavi, Julie Norberg, Charlotte Seidman, Maria Viernes, Carolyn Thom, Gina Abdelrahman, I hope I didn't miss anyone. SO, THANK YOU all SO MUCH Let me extend an invitation to learn to play Mahjong. I'd like to see us have more players. We play 2 times a month. There is no commitment to play each time. Learning to play is easy. Attend Araxy's classes and you too, can have fun playing.
