AAUW promotes education for young women

FALLBROOK – AAUW of Fallbrook will have a special speaker at their Saturday, Nov. 14 meeting. Lisa Ordanez, an AAUW national grant recipient at SDSU, will give a talk on the Santa Margarita River Project. The meeting will be at 127 West Social House, 127 W. Elder St., from 10 a.m. to noon. A continental breakfast will be served for $12. All are welcome.

The AAUW held its annual "Mahjong Tournament" fundraiser at the Fallbrook VFW#1924 on Oct. 29. Dan Nelson made history as the first man to win the grand prize of a $50 Major Market gift certificate for top score.

Mahjong fans came from all over with entrance fees used to fund AAUW branch programs (including the math and science breakfast and AVID high school mentoring programs).

Among their other fundraisers are their annual Halloween party and tee shirt sales (with the slogan "Young Women With Big Dreams become Women with Vision"). All proceeds go toward scholarships.
