Groups. Study Groups may be formed to allow for a more in-depth
exploration of a particular topic or for a more informal
presentation of a timely topic than might otherwise occur at a
branch meeting. Special Interest Groups, open only to AAUW
members, include book discussion (Spring
2011 book selections), adventures in dining, a
writers group, a game night, a a decluttering support group and
a yarn group. Groups generally
meet in homes and are announced in the
monthly branch bulletin.
Check with our
program VP
for information on our current interest group activities.

Programs and Events
2011-2012 |
|
The Hingham Area Branch just completed its 43nd year as part of the American Association
of University Women. AAUW members believe in the power of education to change
women’s lives. We also recognize that women’s education
means not only attaining higher degrees. It also means
becoming financially literate, daring to take risks to
grow and learn throughout our lives, and to help others
both around us and far away from us to reach their
potential.
Our programs focus on our mission to advance equity for
women and girls through advocacy, education,
philanthropy, and research. We hope you will join us at one of our
events. No matter
how busy your daily routine is, we think you’ll get
something out of our events. You’ll meet like-minded
women from the
South Shore. We’ll hear from fascinating speakers on
thought-provoking topics.
|
|
|
For more information about our meeting topics and
speakers, please contact Program Vice President Carol
Sullivan-Hanley. |
|
|
Expand your horizons and potential. Come to our
monthly meetings, bring a neighbor, friend or colleague!
Remember,
AAUW advances equity for all women and girls through
advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research--because
equity is still an issue.
We
look forward to seeing you!
