Shelby's and AAUW unite to support local scholarships
Submitted by Bonnie Fend
Shelby's Restaurant in Orinda's Theatre Square will partner with the American Association of University Women-Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette branch to raise money for local scholarships on Sept. 20. These scholarships are based on community engagement. High school seniors at each of the local high schools and Saint Mary's College undergraduates in the High Potential Program will receive scholarships in the spring. The High Potential Program provides a range of comprehensive services and individualized support for first-generation and low-income students.
The Sept. 20 AAUW Branch Meeting will feature a representative from the Public Defender's Office of Contra Costa County speaking on social issues and their impact on the lives of many from our underserved communities. The meeting will also showcase the branch's many programs and activities that support women and girls. The 9:30 a.m. meeting will be held at the Orinda Community Church and the public is invited to attend. Check oml-ca.aauw.net for more information.
After the meeting, members and guests are encouraged to have lunch together at Shelby's. Food may also be purchased for lunch, dinner, takeout - or all three! Curbside delivery is available on request. Shelby's will donate 10% of their sales on Sept. 20 to the AAUW scholarship fund. Check their website at
