MURFREESBORO — The
local chapter of the American Association of University Women is adding a
global flair to its upcoming fundraiser.
AAUW of Murfreesboro will conduct its annual meeting from 5
to 7 p.m. Thursday, May 14, at Forest Oaks No. 1 Clubhouse, 1002 E. Northfield
Blvd.
The gathering will include a “Shape the Future” Buffalo
Raffle. With the theme of “International Bazaar,” items that represent
countries other than the United States will be raffled off. Members will donate
items they obtained during international travel, gifts they have received or
items they have purchased.
Seventy-five percent of the raffle proceeds will benefit
branch operations. The other 25 percent will go to AAUW’s legal and education
funds.
New members may join at the meeting for $36, which is
one-half of the regular dues. Members and their guests will enjoy a potluck
dinner.
Attendees are requested to donate children’s underwear for
the local domestic violence shelter.
For more information, contact Ayne Cantrell, MTSU professor
emerita and president-elect of AAUW of Tennessee, at acantrell@comcast.net.
