BOOK NOOK
AAUW members, we need your help! The Book Nook is open 10am until 6pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We need workers to cover shifts of two hour each. The hours needed are: Fridays & Sundays: 12-2 & 2-4; Saturdays: 11-1, 1-3, and 3-5. Many ladies have been working at the sale and we are very grateful for your help. We are also grateful for those who helped by being callers and those contacting other members to work. If you cannot keep your commitment to work please call Carolyn Hurley at 484-8380 or W413-7908 or Pat Becker at 484-9105. Our Book Nook needs YOU if it is to be successful. We must all be willing to help.

All profits from the Book Nook go to scholarships and programs for women and girls

   We have wonderful hard cover and paperback books. The prices are low and there is a 50% off sale on Children’s Books. We need one more person to be on the Book Nook Committee to help get ready to close. We will be closing the Book Nook by the end of March, 2012. We will accept books until December 31, 2011. Please only bring books in good condition; we want the books to be saleable. Remember men like books on cars and sports. Women like craft books. We will accept post cards printed before 1925. Teachers will be given special prices on books related to their teaching level and books at the level of their students.

Corrections that should be made at this time:
On page 40, Rebecca Jensen is no longer a member
On page 12 my email address is incorrect. It should be as given on page 41

Legal Advocacy Fund
On September 29, 2011 I was privileged to participate in a conference call for the Legal Advocacy Fund. I will give you updates at our December meeting.

After experimental use of email for newsletter distribution, it has been determined the conventional method of mailing the newsletters to the membership is more appropriate. This is the first of the resumed mail format.
