25th Annual AAUW Benefit for the educational foundation 3-12-05Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when she was asked to share her "beauty tips". For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. Ider, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping he other for helping others.

"Idealists... foolish enough to throw caution to the winds... have advanced mankind and have enriched the world. 11 Emma Gotdman " I think it's the end of progress if you stand still and think of what you've done in the past. I keep on." Leslie Caron "Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world." Lucille Ball "We are the hero of our own story." Mary. McCarthy "I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing." Katherine Mansfield "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." Anais Nin "I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship." Louisa May Alcott You have to count on living every single day in a way you believe will make you feel good about your life — so that if it were over tomorrow, you'd be content with yourself." Jane Seymour WELCOME MEMBERS AND GUESTS The Northern Palm Beach County Branch 25th ANNUAL AAUW BENEFIT FOR THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN MARCH 12, 2005 Fashions by: ROSE MEYEROWICH FASHION SHOW CO-ORDINATOR, TEQUESTA MODELS AND FASHIONS ARE PRESENTED BY: GALLERY FIVE, TEQUESTA EVERYTHING BUT WATER, THE GARDENS CHRISTIANS, PALM BEACH DRAPERS AND DAMONS, NO, PALM BEACH ALEXIA, JUPITER Piano Accompaniment: Bill De Benzo EXPLANATION OF THE AAUW EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION The Educational Foundation, formed in 1958, is the world's largest source of funding exclusively for graduate women. The Foundation's endowed funds — the American, International and Selected Professions Fellowships, Career Development and Community Action Grants — provide women with financial support for individual research and formal academic pursuits beyond a Bachelor's degree. Community Action Grants provide seed money to individual AAUW members, AAUW branches, and local community-based nonprofit organizations for innovative programs or non -degree research projects that promote education and equity for women and girls. The Foundation's Eleanor Roosevelt Fund, started in 1988, provides women public school teachers, grades K-12, with professional development opportunities and support projects targeting areas of high need for girls and teachers. Teachers working with underserved girls or communities, technology education, and programs stimulating interest in math, science and technology are, the primary focus of the fellowships. A five-day teacher institute is held annually for teachers who have been awarded Professional Developm1ant Grants. In 2003-04 nearly 200 outstanding women were awarded these fellowship and grants. Two of them are Floridians; one attends the University of Florida and the other Florida State University. Preference is given to women whose civic, community, or professional work shows a commitment to advancing the lives of women and girls. The late Judith Resnick, The Astronaut, is a former AAUW follow. Your generous contributions will help enable a woman to pursue an advanced degree that would not be possible without financial assistance. "Education costs money, but then so does ignorance.," Sir Claus Moser "Only the educated are free." Epictetus The American Association of University Women, founded in 1881 when popular wisdom held that higher education impaired women's health, is now the nation's leading advocate for education and equity for women and girls. In 1885 the founders conducted a study proving that women are able to pursue higher education. In 1888 AAUW -founders established the first fellowship for a graduate woman scholar. Ida Street received $350 to pursue a graduate degree in education at the University of Michigan when women's suffrage was still a generation away! AAUW is a network of women and men dedicated to removing barriers that block women from full equality. People join AAUW to create opportunities for women and girls, take local and national level action on vital social issues of the day, and develop life-long interests, leadership skills, and friendships. AAUW has a long track record on crucial issues affecting women and girls. The membership works for change. We promote gender -fair classroom practices, lobby local and national legislators on AAUW priority issues, and mentor women and girls, We raise money for groundbreaking research, community action projects, women scholars, and combating sex discrimination on campus. AAUW has 130,000 members in all 50 states. Florida has 5,000 members; most belong to local branches or chapters. The Noilhern Palm Beach County Branch, formed 45 years ago, is an active group. We teach Financial Independence to teenage girls, have adopted a class at a Hispanic Human Resources Child Development Center, and raise money for AAUWs Educational Foundation and Legal Advocacy Fund as well as local scholarsh.ips., Membership information may be obtained from Diane Cochran (772/873- 1193) and Judy Pierman (561/626-6486).

"My mother drew a distinction: between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by tethers, and that's nice, too, but not as important or scatisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about suet-ess.r, Helen Hayes We thank member Naomi Rothstein for providing the Staying Alive Fitness Certificate found in each program booklet.
