What makes you get up and go? A tasty meal? An interesting book? A speaker who motivates or touches your heart? Time with a good friend? Volunteering to help children? All of these things got me out the door during our mercurial February. And all of these things presented me with such great rewards- each one satisfying in its own way. These things gave me a sense of community, new knowledge, and personal challenges. If you are sitting at home, wondering what to do, check out the Activities section of this newsletter, read about what you can do to strengthen AAUW’s position in Georgia’s Public Policy column, find a place to volunteer (I do one-on-one tutoring at the Family Resource Center), call a friend to celebrate or commiserate, or read a good book. Enjoy life and make things happen. Let me know if you need any help. aauwwhcmembership@gmail.com
