PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
This is my last President’s Message—a fact that many
of you no doubt are happy to hear. I may have difficulty adjusting to my new
situation. It reminds me of the story of Rev. Bennett from my hometown. In the
early 1900’s his church members gave him an automobile to show their
appreciation of his efforts before he moved to his next church appointment.
Rev. Bennett drove the car home, came to the gate (He lived on a farm.), pulled
back on the steering wheel, and yelled “Whoa.” Needless to say, he
crashed into the gate!
I wish to thank each one of you for your time
and efforts in making our local AAUW organization viable and altruistic these
past four years. You have done a magnificent job. I am very proud of our
accomplishments, as I’m sure you are as well. Providing scholarships to
women improves our society, continued learning through our excellent programs
updates us members, and cementing friendships through our activities and
efforts has invaluable personal results now and in the future. You are a
wonderful bunch. Thank you for supporting me, AAUW, and our local projects.
AAUW-Oak Ridge stands tall. We operate in the black, have monies for
future scholarships, and continue with fruitful projects to back up our
educational efforts. Your new officers will lead well. Please give them your
strong support, as you have done for me. Keep up your excellent work. I’ll
be right beside you working for our goals and probably muttering our Mission
Statement!
Best Wishes, Mayme
