Convention Synopsis:
Pat reported that Karen Rowe, President of AAUW –
PA,
revealed that she has been diagnosed with MS. Also
announced at the convention is the fact that Pennsylvania
now has three less branches this year. This has caused a
redistricting of the branches and our branch is now in
District 2 instead of District 1. Our branch
received
an award for our donations to the Legal Advocacy Fund, a
thank you for our participation in the Gateway to Equity
Program, and a PA Star Award.
