Welcome to the Eugene-Lane, OR Branch of AAUW

AAUW Eugene-Lane supports equity for women and girls in education and employment. We do that through activities like:

  • sponsoring a middle school girls’ basketball team through KidsSports,
  • helping to fund a scholarship so that a Lane Community College woman graduate can continue her education at UO (the Kappy Eaton Scholarship through the LCC Foundation),
  • helping to fund a SPICE Camp scholarship so that a young woman can engage in science through hands-on experimentation,
  • Presenting an annual UO Senior Woman’s Award that recognizes that woman’s accomplishments and plans as they relate to AAUW’s mission and values.

AAUW Eugene-Lane supports civics education and engagement. We do that through activities like supporting mock trial teams at Willamette and Creswell High Schools.

AAUW Eugene-Lane supports its members.

  • We do that at our monthly branch meetings and at branch activities like our annual picnic and holiday brunch, and at periodic small group lunches and dinners.
  • We send personal cards and notes when a branch member experiences a health challenge, bereavement, or other significant life event.

Monthly Meeting: Saturday, November 9, 10 a.m.

Amelia Reising, the executive director of Adventure! Children’s Museum, will join us. She is a 2002 graduate of the University of Oregon. Having worked as an apparel clerk, bookseller, pizza chef, display artist, bookcover designer, and preschool teacher, she currently uses skills learned along the way to run children’s museum she founded in 2015.
