Popular Literature Potluck Supper
to Make Book Selections for 2014-2015
It is that time again -- time to choose the books we will read and discuss
during the coming year. All members are invited and urged to participate.
During the selection process we eat, drink and catch up on summer
news. Then we sit down and make our title proposals. Usually there are
25-30 suggestions offered, from which we make eight selections. Books of any genre or age can be
proposed, but do be sure to have read the book before suggesting it! Ideally, the book should be in
paperback or local libraries should have multiple copies.
Do get busy reading and also let me know what dish you might
bring to the pot luck. Call me if you have any questions.

2014 AAUW Scholarship Winners
Branch Awards
Five Scholarships
to Collin County
Women
On May 3 the Plano/Collin County Branch celebrated annual scholarship awards along with the fortieth anniversary. Five very deserving
young ladies were presented with scholarships.
Tammi Saffell was awarded the AAUW scholarship for a Mature woman.
Four graduating senior scholarships were awarded to Aafiya Jamal,
Vivian Doan, Haven Neal, and Mishali Patel.
We were again delighted to give these awards to such outstanding ladies. There were so many fine applicants that it was a difficult task to
select the five winners. We expect to see great things for all of these deserving
young ladies.
Many thanks to the Scholarship Committee for all their work this year — Carol
Crawford, Kay Zilliox, Carol Foster, and Erma Spencer.
