ABOUT SPRINGFIELD Springfield AAUW was founded in 1927, making it one of the early branches in the State. Over the years, AAUW has been active within the Springfield school system and the community.

The branch currently meets on the third Monday of each month, usually from September through May,but this year we will be meeting throughout the summer to plan and prepare our new branch for the 2010-2011 year.

Beginning with our branch meeting on September 20, the branch will meet at the Wittenberg Coop House, 712 N. Fountain Avenue at 6:30 PM.

The branch has made significant strides in becoming an active branch. We have speakers and events planned to March, 2011. We have updated our non profit status and thanks to our super efficient and diligent treasurer, Joyce Spangler, we have cleaned up our books. By the end of August, we should have approved our new branch bylaws for both state and national and will have sent them to the resepctive offices.

The branch also plans to raise our exposure to the local community by participate in Springfield's Culture Fest in Spetember and at Wittenberg University's Passport to Springfield program in August, with more participation in both future events and fundraising planned.
