We will be meeting at Kathy Keister’s home on Thursday, October 27th at 2:00 P.M. We encourage you to carpool, as the amount of parking is limited at Kathy’s home. If anyone needs directions, please just give me a call.
We certainly enjoyed and learned a great deal from Sandy Folk (about Death Valley Nat’l Park), Dorothy Krob (about Glacier Nat’l Park), and Kathy Kester ( about Isle Royale Nat’l Park) at our September Meeting.
At our October Meeting, Ann Odegaard will be sharing information on the Channel Islands Nat’l Park and Marsha Kuehne will be sharing information on the Badlands Nat’l Park. If there is anyone else that would like to share, please let me know ASAP. Thank you.
I look forward to seeing you on the 27th, if not sooner. Take care and enjoy this lovely Fall Season.
October 2nd, 1-5 pm
Tickets are $15

Our first lunch will be October 7th at 11:30 at the Old Mill.
Women have been running for president of the United States since 1872 — before women even had the right to vote. This year, two high-profile women entered the race, and Hillary Clinton has now become the first female presidential nominee of a major political party. Here are some of the women who have tried to crack the ultimate glass ceiling.

The AAUW Travel Club is leaving Austin (at 9:00 A.M.) and Traveling to Owatonna on Tuesday, May 17th. We will tour the Minnesota State Orphanage at 10:00 A.M. where we will listen to a presentation, watch a film taken in the 1930’s, and tour the Main Museum and Cottage 11. If the weather is nice, we will also walk the grounds where there are six audio stations. The cost for this tour is $7.00.
We will then go to the downtown area where we will have different choices for lunch including a Chocolate Shop, a Bagel Bakery, and others………….on your own.
At 1:30 P.M., we will receive another guided tour of Owatonna’s unique bank. The cost of this bank tour will be between $3.00-$5.00 (depending on the number of people in our group).
So, check your calendar, and let me know if you think this is of interest to you and will work for you. Gail Minerich has made all the arrangements and we are thankful for her time and efforts. We are inviting anyone that is an AAUW Member to join us. We do need to get our final number/count. So, please let me know ASAP (before the end of April) if you are planning to join us. Thank you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Enjoy this lovely season.
