President's Letter

AAUW -Palm Springs Branch cordially invites you to our:

 February Luncheon and Speech Trek Program

Make your reservations now to attend the

February AAUW luncheon and Speech Trek Contest in the Bellatrix Ballroom

of the Classic Club, Palm Desert, California

The Speech Trek Contest features high school students from throughout the Coachella Valley. Contestants will deliver an original five-minute speech, by memory. They will be expressing their opinions on “ Bullying…so what?” and will answer the question, “ Where do we go from here”?

You can expect to hear some emotionally charged speeches, as well as ideas of where to begin to eliminate bullying, which has become more prominent in the press and more widespread with the use of modern technology. We hear almost daily of the impact it has within our schools. Please honor these students’ efforts by attending this luncheon and the Speech Trek program that follows.

Judges for the final contest are prominent community leaders, Gregg Burton, Editor of the Desert Sun, Jean Ann Hirschi, well-known local attorney and philanthropist, and Sue Steding, recently retired Assistant District Attorney for Riverside County, currently working to start a new law school in the Coachella Valley.

Please join us on Saturday, February 11, 2012, promptly at 11:00 am in The Bellatrix Ballroom of the Classic Club in Palm Desert.
