Programs are initiated, planned and executed by our members and hence serve the diverse needs that our members have for continued learning and development. The programs are educational, social , service and professional in nature. Some of our colleagues participate in many of the programs, some in only one or two. We hold open-house general information gatherings on a regular basis and all interested women are urged to join us for some of those gatherings. We have educational programs such as our Literary Roundtable, Great Decisions Forum, our Computer Forum, Investment Group and topical lectures throughout the year.
Many members participate in our service programs.
Tied to all of our programs and activities are the meals we share at the East Avenue house and the meetings where we plan and evaluate what it is that we do. The house has a large full service kitchen which is well used. It can accommodate our own cooking or that of a caterer. The house is so lovely that it is also used by many for private parties, weddings, professional meetings, or other non-AAUW social functions. Such use is encouraged because it helps to connect AAUW with the community and it helps to support the programs we offer.
