Monthly Book Group – Usually held in the third week of each month. Members meet at the hosting member’s home at 6 pm for a potluck dinner, followed by a discussion of the common read book for the month. During standard time, meetings are at 2 pm on Sunday, with no meal but snacks provided. Members select each month’s book from a collection of suggested ones that usually feature books written by women and about women. For more information, contact Judy Adams at jadams11_2008@yahoo.com

In December, we celebrate the Icelandic tradition of Jolabokflood or “bookflood,” where each girl is given a book featuring strong female characters to read over the holiday break.

AAUW Owensboro also created and continues to support the Margaret Britton Fund at Girls Inc., a fund to support past Girls Inc. members as they pursue degrees and higher education.
