AAUW Holiday Party and Silent Auction

Guest speaker fellow Erin studying at Tufts

On Sunday, December 10, 2010, we held our Holiday Social and Silent Auction at Beverly Library. We enjoyed a homemade potluck lunch, a silent auction of new gifts donated by members, and a conversation with Erin, an AAUW Career Development Grant recipient, studying for a Masters degree at Tufts University, Medford.

Erin has  a concentration in International Environment and Resource Policy.
Erin's hope is to help link low-resource populations, in which women are often the most marginalized, with financing for and application of adaptive technologies and strategies.
