Our 2022 Book Sale was a huge success after a two-year pause due to COVID.  Start saving your good used books and encourage your friends to do the same.  This year’s sale is scheduled for Friday, September 22, Saturday, September 23, and Sunday, September 24 at the Eau Claire County Expo Center, 5530 Fairview Drive, Eau Claire.  Look for collection boxes in grocery stores around August 20th.  This is an important fundraising event that makes scholarships possible for non-traditional age women students at UW Eau Claire and students at Chippewa Valley Technical College, as well as leadership development opportunities for young women at UW Eau Claire.

Join your AAUW friends at our first in-person meeting since last year!
THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 2021; 2 – 4 PM at the OAK PAVILION in CARSON PARK.

Bring your great ideas for programming, membership recruitment and  fund-raising.
As we emerge from the confines of a pandemic year, let’s make 2021 and beyond a fresh start for gender equity!

2020 will be a memorable year!  Like all organizations, AAUW Eau Claire is navigating the challenges of managing in the time of COVID.  Safety has been a primary concern leading us to cancel our usual in-person programs and fundraising events, such as the annual used book sale, and embrace the virtual space.   We are all Zooming!  Our board of directors’ meetings, state board meetings, and state public policy days have been using the Zoom video conferencing platform.

In this important election year, AAUW Eau Claire has been collaborating with the League of Women Voters – Greater Chippewa Valley in educating citizens about current issues and voting procedures.  As we marked the 100^th anniversary of the 19^th Amendment, we must support women’s rights to have a voice in our democracy.
