Bring a friend to the February 16 meeting of our American Association of University Women branch as we hear from a true pioneer in Durham’s Halls of Justice–Karen (Galloway) Bethea-Shields, the county’s first female judge.

Karen’s story is a rich and inspiring one, filled with a broad array of personal and professional experience, including many “firsts.” She has graciously agreed to speak to elaborate on her journey, after which she’ll entertain questions–whether from aspiring attorneys or from any of us who treasure the freedoms protected by courts of law.

AAUW Art Contest

Did you notice an email from AAUW (national) inviting submissions of original art for publication as AAUW notecards?  “Someone you know” has responded and you can see two pieces of her work (Hydrangeas and Protea) at this url: www.aauw.org/contests/  Vote for TEN works of art.  In March, we’ll find out which submissions were the favorites.
