Mohawk Valley Branch
New York State AAUW
The Mohawk Valley Branch of AAUW- New York State was formed in 1923. Our branch has 53 members who provide a wide variety of services to our local communities. This year we plan activities to support the resource Center for Independent Living, the Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign, and area schools. We have annually given three local scholarships (two for college-aged students and one for a woman returning to school), and have worked on voter education and registration. Our most popular yearly events are coordinated with other women's organizations.
