Banning/Beaumont "Pass Area" Branch Group
On Friday, June 11, 2010 the Pass Area Group met for lunch at the Haven Coffee Shop. Present were 17 AAUW members, two former members, and one guest.
On Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2009 our Pass Area Group was recognized by the Beaumont School District for our service in providing the Math/Science Conference for the past ten years and awarding scholarships to Tech Trek. Present at this board meeting were the two girls we sent to Tech Trek this year and their parents. The Principals of both the Beaumont Middle Schools spoke about our contributions to their schools. To date we have sent 25 girls to Tech Trek.
Math/Science Conference at Mt. San Jacinto Community College on Friday, January 8, 2010: We did not think a conference would be possible in 2010 due to a reduction in financial contributions. However, when the Banning and Beaumont School Districts heard our problem they stepped forward and volunteered to provide the lunches for the girls, thus making the conference possible this year.
We have members further away from Redlands who have alternative meetings in Banning and Beaumont.
Our Pass special activities include:
The Pass Area Interest Group of the Redlands Branch of American Association of University Women is proud to present a math science conference designed to build confidence in young women and create an awareness of the diversity of careers involving math and science. The Conference is planned and managed completely by the women from Beaumont and Banning Pass AAUW Interest Group (mostly from Sun Lakes), and on the day of the conference, approximately 35 additional friends, both men and women from Sun Lakes, participate.
