If you would like to support their efforts and AAUW National, please visit AAUW West Suburban Mke’s Virtual Silent Auction and make a bid by Monday, May 4th at 10:00p.m.!

This past fall, the Janesville Woman’s Club was awarded an $80,000 grant after receiving first place in the 2019 Partners in Preservation: Main Street competition, sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and American Express. The win was due in part to the efforts of the AAUW Janesville branch, which calls the Janesville Woman’s Club Building home, and worked to help garner the most votes of any of the 20 sites that participated. This historic preservation grant will fund vital repairs to the almost 100-year-old building. Learn more here.

When she heard that the Fond du Lac American  Legion Auxiliary could afford to sponsor only one young woman to Badger Girls State, Pam Hoaglin, Fond du Lac High School social studies teacher and AAUW member, alerted the Fond du Lac Branch Community Projects Committee.  The committee voted to sponsor a second Badger Girls State participant.  In addition to meeting the committee guidelines, this sponsorship intersects exceptionally well with the mission of AAUW and the association’s emphasis on developing leadership skills in young women
