2011 Book Fair

The Keokuk branch of the American Association of University Women donated $1500 from its 2011 Book Fair profit to the international organization of AAUW to help fund the Educational Foundation.  AAUW’s fellowship and grant recipients perform research in a wide range of disciplines and work to improve their schools and communities. Their intellect, dedication, imagination, and effort promise to forge new paths in scholarship, improve the quality of life for all, and tackle the educational and social barriers facing women in the United States and around the globe.

Donations were given in honor of local AAUW members,  and….  Also honored was the Keokuk Senior High School Konnections program. Students in the program have volunteered for several years to move saved books from storage and begin the set up for the next year’s book fair.

In addition to the donation to the AAUW organization, the local branch also has also funded a $500 scholarship to Southeastern Community College to help a non-traditional student fund her tuition.
