ABOUT US
We along with the Sarasota Branch provide judges. moderators, timekeepers and scorekeepers for the annual Academic Olympics, a competition among nine Sarasota County high schools. The competition begins in January and lasts for several months. We also have a Live and Silent Auction at our November meeting to raise money for the Legal Advocacy Fund and a Home Tour in February that raises funds for AAUW National Fellowships and Grants, and local Re-Entry Scholarships. This year we are sponsoring an Academic Olympics for 5th Grade girls. It will feature hands-on projects in science and math.
