SEPTEMBER 30, 2014
6­-8 pm
AAUW-Bethlehem to hold its
85th Anniversary Celebration

An evening reception will honor the branch’s 85 years of commitment to “equity for women and girls”.  More details to follow.

April 8, 2014, is Equal Pay Day, the symbolic day when women’s earnings catch up to men’s earnings from the year before. Our branch is planning several activities to highlight the inequality of pay for women.

To launch our discussion, we will host a public lecture by Evelyn Murphy, former Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Founder of the Wage Project. Ms. Murphy will speak the evening of Tuesday March 18, 2014 in Prosser Auditorium at Moravian College. Her appearance is funded in large part by a prestigious Arts and Lecture Grant from Moravian College. Please save that date and plan to attend

Our inter-branch luncheon will feature speaker Nicola Gutgold, whose topic is empowering women. We will gather at noon at Northampton Country Club. Several branches will present their Gateway to Equity awards. Plan now to attend.
