President’s Push
“Beginnings are usually scary, and endings are usually sad, but it’s everything in between that makes it all worth living.”
This quote from Bob Marley so completely sums up my experiences as Alhambra-San Gabriel Branch President. And that “everything in between” that made my tenure so worth it was all due to each and every one of you, dedicated and committed advocates for women and girls, in the ongoing struggle for equity.
I thank you for all you have done and continue to do to make our branch a leader in equity,
Inclusion and diversity. Each of you, in your own inimitable style, furthers the cause in which we believe. But it won’t happen without each of us continuing our commitment, dedication, and energy to bring about EQUITY FOR ALL.
Please join me and your AAUW Branch Colleagues for our Branch Annual Meeting Brunch. Festivities begin at 10:30 AM at First United Methodist Church in San Gabriel. We will have Sandwiches from Lovebirds and assorted accompaniments. Please see the sign-up coupon elsewhere in this issue of the Mission Gateway.
We will elect 2024-2025 Branch Officers, participate in a Branch Members’ Awards Ceremony, and welcome a Guest Speaker via Zoom who will inform us of AAUW-CA’s initiative on Book Banning & Restricted Access to Information.
Please mark your calendars, make your reservation, and join your Branch Friends and Guests for what promises to be a lively meeting.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, April 20th at 10:30 AM at the Annual Meeting.
Joe
