The
Hingham Area branch also sponsors Study and Special Interest
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, adventures in dining, a writers
group, a game night, and a decluttering group. Groups generally
meet in homes and are announced in the monthly branch bulletin.
Check with one of our
program VP
for information on our current interest group activities.
We seek and welcome new members among graduates who hold an
associate or equivalent or a baccalaureate or higher degree from
a college or university. Undergraduates may join the
branch as AAUW student affiliates. We practice AAUW's
diversity statement: There shall be no barriers to full
participation in this organization on the basis of gender, race,
creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or
class.
We welcome new members from the South Shore! For more
information about how to join, please

Pat Laidler
or Patricia McKay (781-337-3375).

AAUW-Hingham invites you to a conversation
with
Susan Retik, co-founder of Beyond the 11th.
Beyond the 11th is a non-profit organization
that provides support to widows in Afghanistan who have been
affected by war, terrorism, and oppression.
They place a special emphasis on working with women and children,
since socio-economic, cultural and legal conditions often favor men
and exclude women and minors. Women can find themselves stripped of
assets upon the dissolution of a marriage or the death of a spouse.
Lack of access to, and use of, property such as land, leaves many
widows extremely vulnerable and trapped in an ever-deepening cycle
of poverty and powerlessness.
Beyond the 11th’s grants are geared toward programs that help widows
gain the skills necessary to generate their own income. They believe
strongly that this is the best way to create lasting social change.

Programs and Events
2009-2010 |
|
The Hingham Area Branch just completed
its 41st 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 this year will primarily focus on women and power, and we hope you will join us at one of our
events as we explore its many facets. 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. In addition, we hope to
collaborate with our sister branches in an action
project.
|
|
|
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!
