RECENT PAST EVENTS
Thank you to Sharon Frentner, our Hospitality committee,
Peggy Thompson and Betsy Ding, and our consummate
decorator, Marianne Knight and all who contributed
food and drink for our wonderful Holiday Party at
Carden Academy on December 7th. The venue was perfect, plenty of room
for fellowship and music by Joan Ensign’s awesome
group, Mass Confu?ion. The tribute to Elena Moreno was
heartfelt and touching and members donated over $450 for
the Learning and Loving Education Center, with more on
the way.
The Annual Neighborhood Dinner was held on Friday, November 7th. The event is a chance to meet new members in our neighborhoods and spend some time with old friends. Thank you to Stacy Forgy and her committee who did such
a spectacular job with the event at Mama
Mia’s. The table centerpieces, created and
donated by Marianne Knight, were lovely; the dinner and conversation were great; and our program, presented by our
very own Beth Wyman, was a fantastic tribute to 3 outstanding
women from our county’s past.
It was a standing room only crowd at our Candidates’ Forum on October 13! Sponsored jointly by AAUW and the Morgan Hill Times, the forum hosted candidates for the 27th Assembly District, the Morgan Hill City Council, the Open Space Authority and proponents/opponents of Measure G. Candidates met to discuss, debate and enlighten us on issues that affect all of us locally. Thank you to Joanne Rife, Carol Holzgrafe and Lisa Pampuch for their excellent work as moderators, Laura Brunton, our timer, for keeping everyone on track and all the other members who contributed to the success of this program.
