The American Association of University Women Orinda-Moraga-Lafayette (AAUW-OML) Branch will hold a book fair through Feb. 28 with Orinda Books, featuring a collection of 21 titles of all genres celebrating women. The book fair will raise money for the $2,000 scholarships OML awards each year to graduating senior women from each of our local high schools. In addition, two students from Saint Mary's College will each be awarded $1,000 scholarships. The scholarship fund receives 20% of the sales of these books.
As part of this, the AAUW-OML Branch will host a program at 9:30 a.m. Feb. 16 which features Beverly Lane speaking on "Women Suffrage Warriors," the story of women winning the vote in California and the country. Her presentation will provide a brief history of the U.S. women's civil rights and suffrage movements.
Lane is a Danville resident and has been active in local organizations and government for decades. She is a past Danville town council member and mayor and is currently a director on the East Bay Regional Park District board of directors. A Zoom link to the free program can be obtained at the AAUW-OML website, oml-ca.aauw.net.
At the bookstore, look for the AAUW-OML table. If you are unable to visit the store, a list of the featured titles along with a synopsis of each, is available on the AAUW-OML website: www.oml-ca.aauw.net. You can purchase the featured books at the store, online at www.orindabooks.com, or by phone at (925) 254-7606 and use the store's curbside pickup.
