Plymouth-Canton
Year Established 1952
Number of Members The
Plymouth-Canton Branch is comprised of about ninety members, who are committed
to the AAUW mission, which promotes equity for all women and girls, lifelong
education, and positive societal change. Our meetings reflect this quest and
also afford women the opportunity to interact and become involved in projects
that support our community. Every year a number of scholarships are awarded to
young women, who wish to pursue higher
education.
For many years we have supported
the local GEMS conference with time, organizational, and monetary contributions.
In the recent past we were instrumental in assisting with the kick-off for the
Phoenix Mill Women's Museum. For over forty years we have presented our annual
theater productions, which enhance our fund raising efforts and provide an
opportunity for children to experience live drama.

Annual Play Information
The American Association of University
Women, Plymouth-Canton Branch, is a non-profit organization that has
performed children's theater for over forty years. This talented and
energetic group of professional women, includes teachers,
administrators, business women and engineers, who range in age from
twenty five to eighty three. Each volunteer on average donates five
hours per week for three months to make our yearly March production
possible.
These plays offer a rare and unique
opportunity for children of all ages to experience live drama and meet
the cast at very reasonable costs. Where else can you experience live
entertainment for only $6.00 per ticket. Proceeds from the play provide
scholarships to local women seeking to further their education.

Latest Branch News
Every year in February or March this branch holds its annual
children’s play. It has become a tradition in the community as well as a
fundraiser. This year the play was “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and none
other than our State President, Mickey Edell, and our State VP of Program,
Sharon Belobraidich, were both on stage. The branch netted $11,000 and
networked with the Girl Scouts for this project.
