Touring the Lyon Air Museum

On January 24, 2024, AAUW-LB members enjoyed a docent led tour of the Lyon Air Museum, established by Major General William Lyon to commemorate the remarkable history of World War II aviation.

AAUW Laguna Beach Branch had a Meet and Greet program September 17th

at the Unitarian Fellowship Hall. The members and guests enjoyed seeing one another and learning about all the work we do for women and girls in our community. Special guests included Lisa Wong, one of five scholarship recipients from Saddleback College and Alexis Lang, a 2016 NCCWSL recipient from LCAD. National College Conference for Women Student Leaders is held annually at the University of Maryland and has about 1000 college women attend from around the world. AAUW Laguna Beach sends two students each year.

Also Madeleine Peterson, Program Chair, had each interest group state their purpose and encouraged members to sign up.
