education, and positive societal change.

women's rights and girls.
"About Eastern Delaware County Branch"
Eastern Delaware County Branch was originally
organized in 1933 as the Lansdowne Branch, but changed its name in 1971 in
recognition of its geographical growth. One of over 1300 branches of AAUW, it
now serves more than 30 communities in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Throughout
the years, the branch and its members have been known for many accomplishments
within
AAUW program areas.
Fundraising
The emphasis of our branch's fundraising is on
supporting the
AAUW Educational Fund (EF), the world's largest source of funding
exclusively for graduate women, and the AAUW Legal Advocacy
Fund (LAF), the
nation's largest legal fund focused solely on sex discrimination in higher
education.
Meetings
Regular meetings of the Branch are generally held in
the Convenant United Methodist Church: Saxer Ave. and Springfield Rd, Springfield
(Delaware County), PA 19064, at 7:30 PM on the first Monday of each month, September through May. Specific meeting dates and special events are indicated
