LudingtonYear Established 1937Number of Members: We draw members from Mason and Oceana Counties and are currently in the process of applying to the National Association for permission to change our name to the Ludington Area Branch which will more accurately reflect our membership since our 89 members come from at least ten different communities.Our branch members work together to promote equity for all women and girls, education and self-development over the lifespan, and positive societal change at local, state, and national levels. Ludington Branch members particularly work to raise funds for local scholarships and the AAUW Educational Foundation. In the last ten years we've awarded more than $90,000 as a result of their efforts. Current Officers

Latest Branch NewsIn December they held their annual Christmas Party at Scotty’s Restaurant and were entertained by the United Methodist Church Bell Choir. Hundreds of new children’s books were donated to the Women’s Shelter for local children. In January they met at a member’s beautiful old Victorian home where they shared antique treasures and a story about the antique along with family history. Meeting in March at the Ludington Area Library, they enjoyed a presentation by one of their members and her husband about their trip to India. In addition, they donated $500 to the library. In April, another local couple shared with the branch some of their extensive musical box collection dating from the 1800’s to the present. There were musical necklaces, cuff links, cigarette lighters and holders and even a musical pot used before the water closet was invented. In May they hold a Spring Banquet where they will honor their Named Grant Recipient, install new officers and enjoy “The Two Marthas” a story about high class women versus working women in the 1800’s. Their Antique Sale, which raises all the funds for college scholarships for high school students, will be held on Sunday, July 13th at the Mason County Fairgrounds. Last update May 3, 2008 |
