Tech Trek Recap – What AAUW Coachella Valley is all about: Sending young ladies to summer STEM camp for an educational and inspiring opportunity they otherwise wouldn’t have.
Our Tech Trek Tea was a wonderful success, and it was truly heartwarming to see everyone come together despite the wild rainy weather outside! A huge shout-out to Bobbi for making the entire event possible—so much love and appreciation for her incredible work. It was inspiring to see the girls and their families, hear their thoughtful speeches, and feel the energy and excitement they brought to the room. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a special afternoon.
Events like these remind us exactly why we do what we do.
Our Board Meeting was held Nov 12 (no Book Club) due to Veteran’s Day on the 11th. We are all looking forward to meeting our Tech Trek young ladies at the tea on Saturday. Join us.
Next week Happy Hour will be combined with our “Out and About” at the Living Desert. Come visit the animals…stay to enjoy Happy Hour at the zoo’s in the new Bighorn Café. Since the café is inside of the park, you will either need to be a member of the Living Desert to attend or you will need to purchase tickets in advance (https://www.livingdesert.org/plan-your-visit/#admission-info).
