As we welcome the month of May, it’s a good time to reflect on the mission that unites us as members of the AAUW – Easton Branch: advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research. Our work is only possible through the commitment and involvement of each one of you. Whether it’s attending programs, supporting scholarships, or volunteering your time and talents, your engagement fuels our impact.

This month, we celebrate two of our most inspiring annual events. On May 1st, we host Girls Recognition Night, where we honor outstanding young women from local middle schools for their achievements in STEAM subjects. Then, on May 21st, we come together for our Scholarship and Awards Ceremony, recognizing the hard work and academic excellence of local students. These events reflect the heart of our mission—lifting up the next generation of women leaders.

May also reminds us of the power of civic participation. With upcoming elections, we are called not only to vote ourselves but to encourage others to do the same. Voting is a cornerstone of democracy and a vital way we can advocate for the values and policies that matter to us. Let’s continue to show up, speak out, and support each other in creating meaningful change.

Thank you for all you do to keep our mission alive and strong.

Warmest regards,

Lisa Spitale
Co-President, AAUW Easton Branch
