CHARLOTTE AREA AAUW COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT
Still giving! December 28th found Charlotte Area AAUW members at the Park  Road Book Store selecting books for Charlotte Mecklenburg Title 1 School  libraries. Members wandered the stacks selecting K-12 books that encouraged  interest  in STEM, showcased successful women, or that brought back memories of books read as children. In addition to the six members (and one supportive spouse pictured), Janet McClay and Ann Allen contributed to buying  books by sending a check. Thanks to these donations totaling $493.69 we were able to purchase a pile of books (more than 30- see below) to support public education. After book shopping, we socialized over lunch at a nearby restaurant heightening our joy of giving to the community .Joyful book shoppers shown to  the right are: (seated) Sally Bailey; (left to right) Dr. Pamela Oviedo, John Milstead, Marlene Milstead, Rita Law, Beverly Larson, and Joanne Mrstik .
