Thanks to Ellie Tacke’s efforts, Northwestern Michigan College is now also an AAUW college member and the new dean of student services has joined the branch. While this branch has many “snow birds” they continue to have a very active lunch discussion group that meets at the Northwestern Michigan College’s culinary arts building with a view of the bay, two book groups, one in the morning at a book store and one in the evening for working women in homes, besides a public policy group. The latter is interested in pay equity and sending articles to the local newspaper. In connection with the Cherry Festival during the Parade of Homes, members volunteer their services and earn between $500-$750.for the branch. Their book sale, which nets $4,000, utilizes amazon.com and donated books. One member coordinates this project and works with the Interlochen Book Sale and publishers in the area.
