Quilt Raffle

Expanding Your Horizons

in Science, Math & Technology

This conference is designed for young women in 6th, 7th and 8th grades who are curious, welcome a challenge and like to have fun! Parents and educators are invited to attend sessions designed just for them to learn how to keep girls on track for success in math, science and technology.

This worthy activity is sponsored by AAUW and is held every year in March. Please check this site again in January 2009 for new details on Expanding Your Horizons 2009.

See what AAUW has to offer its members!!

We have many fun activities from couples dinners to discussing mystery novels to quilting to antiquing. We have fellowships and scholarships through the Educational Foundation and funds for plaintiffs in sexual harassment cases through the Legal Advocacy Fund. We encourage young girls to study science and math. We are the October Book Sale. We influence legislation on women's issues.

We are friendships and support groups. Join AAUW.
