ABOUT US

We work with the PACE Center for Girls of Orange County to provide enrichment activities and other types of assistance for the teenage girls and their families. Examples are  the Annual Thanksgiving Dinner and the Miracle Boxes that are presented to the girls just before the school break for the holidays.  The branch will continue to provide science programs to the girls in January and February.

We have an annual book and author fundraising luncheon in the spring

The interest groups are all very active; there are six booklovers groups. Dates of meetings are listed in the Branchline each month.
