Janice Perry show at Amerika Haus

On Thursday, June 18th at 7 pm, AAUPW will present Janice Perry in performance at Amerika Haus (Karolinenplatz 3, 80333 München). Ms. Perry will be performing her retrospective of 25 years of touring, "Not Just Another Pretty Face." You won't want to miss the woman The Village Voice calls "bizarre and brainy," and whom BBC Radio considers "one of the world's most-respected performance artists." And you won't want to pass up the opportunity to help raise money for the group's adopted charity IMMA. Tickets for the show are only 8 Euros (concessions: 5 Euros) and will be available at the door the night of the performance.

July Book Club Meeting

The AAUPW book club members have selected an amazing assortment of books to read and discuss in the last 6 months. They have included: The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama.

In July members will meet at a beer garden to nominate and vote on the next exciting round of books. If you'd like to be a part of this dynamic group, become an AAUPW member today!

May Program Meeting & Elections

On May 20, 2009, the AAUPW held its yearly election meeting.
We started the evening’s program by viewing the AAUPW Slide Show that member Annie J. originally created for our 20th anniversary Gala in April 2008. The Slide Show featured the history of AAUPW from its origins as a satellite chapter of AAUW (American Association of University Women) in the U.S. The presentation included photos of past speakers at our program meetings, as well as pictures of our special events, such as the walking tours, the Winter Holiday Parties, and the Fourth of July picnics. As the music "Hail to the Chief" played in the background, photos of our past and current AAUPW Presidents appeared onscreen.

After club announcements, we held our AAUPW Board elections. The current Board members briefly described their roles, which were summarized on a flipchart and then members present voted unanimously to approve the slate of Board members for next year.
