AAUW AUSTIN BRANCH WINTER SOCIAL
Winter Social was a BIG success, with over 60 RSVPs, and maybe about 55 attending. The venue was small, but there was plenty of food, chairs for many with others milling around (without social distancing) and connecting happily. Program listed programs for the rest of 2023, along with the 18 living past presidents on the “committee” for this annual event.
Lots of good conversation and tasty treats! Thanks to all of the Past Presidents for a great way to celebrate AAUW.
Special thanks to Marsha Endahl-Kramer for taking some beautiful photos of our good time during the winter social. If you would like to view the photos, click Winter Social Photos
