The Downers Grove Area Branch of AAUW
The organization enjoyed their only in-person meeting for the 2020-2021 year with a June installation of board members. Two scholarship winners attended via Zoom to share updates on their educational progress. AAUW was proud to have awarded three Back-to-theBooks Scholarships last year thanks to the generous donations of 34 members since the 2020 Used Book Sale was cancelled due to the pandemic.
