40 Years and Counting!

We will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Metro West AAUW at the kickoff luncheon on September 22 at Medina Country Club.  (It's hard to believe it's been 40 years!)  Our guest speaker will be John Gibbs, a Commissioner for the Three Rivers Park District; and we will celebrate our accomplishments.  Watch for the September newsletter with all the details, and make your reservation early. Bring a friend.

We're Going to the Races

Please join us for our summer outing on August 11 to Canterbury Park.  Members will have received an invitation with details.  In general, attendees need to meet at the entry at 11:50 a.m..  Carpooling is available from Zion Lutheran Church in Hopkins at 11:15.  We will have lunch, meet with female jockey Lori Keith, get a tour of the facilities, and watch some races.  Post time is 1:30.  Please RSVP to Dorothy Mason.  Join us for a day at the races.

Potluck Concludes the Year

Members gathered on May 17 for our Spring Potluck Supper. Everyone enjoys this evening of good food, good conversation, and interesting program.  We are looking forward to next year when MetroWest will celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Special Treat for Evening Book Group

Looks too good to eat, but this was the treat for Evening Book Group last evening.  Perhaps someone will add a comment and tell us the connection between the book and the beautiful cake.

Spring is Time for Fresh Herbs
