About Us
San Bruno Branch AAUW - History and Activities
In 1956, the San Bruno Branch AAUW was established with 32 members from North San Mateo County. Now, our Branch serves the following cities: Burlingame, Brisbane, Colma, Daly City, Millbrae, San Bruno and South San Francisco. All in all, our ninety to a hundred members are most congenial and cooperative.
Our monthly General Meetings focus on issues of the day such as: politics (local, state and national); local concerns such as: BART, libraries, schools and health. Our talented members may perform in dramas and musical programs. These meetings are open to the general public.
Since the Educational Foundation (EF) and the Legal Advocacy Foundation (LAF) funds are two of the most of the most important efforts of the American Association of University Women, we hold a variety of fund raisers during the year. To date, we have provided over $55,000 in gifts, fellowships and endowments. Currently, our Branch is supporting a research and project grant of $35,000 in the names of two of our members.
The San Bruno Branch participates in community projects which include: Public Policy, Tech Trek (sponsoring 7th grade girls to a week in science camp), UNICEF (collecting cash from local schools since 1957) and co-sponsoring with Skyline College the Women on Writing (WOW) all-day seminars which feature local authors.

Tech Trek - Math/Science Camp for Girls
Every summer, the San Bruno AAUW sponsors two or three local 7th grade girls for a science and math week at Stanford University.
Tech Trek Camp has two sessions for 2008 (the seventh year), July 13 to 19 and July 20 to 26. Eighty girls can attend each.
Make check payable to AAUW California Special Projects Fund.
You can also volunteer for staffing, health aide, or dorm mother.
Tech Trek has hands-on laboratory activities to develop excitement and confidence. Students eat in college cafeterias, sleep in college dormitories, and use recreational facilities on campus, with field trips to local science institutions. Students meet women teaching and working in science, math, and computers. AAUW members are counselors. High school and college girls assist teachers and staff.
