The winter celebration of the La Mesa-El Cajon Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) will be held Saturday, Dec. 9.
AAUW La Mesa-El Cajon Branch meetings are open to the public and welcome new members and guests. All general meetings are held in King Hall at the Foothills United methodist Church at 4031 Avocado Blvd. in La Mesa. Social half-hour begins at 9:30 a.m. and the meeting lasts until 11:45 usually.
The branch is collecting donations of baby and adult diapers, pasta, canned tomatoes, soup, and monetary donations for their community impact opportunity. The donations will be sent to the Good Shephard Ministry Center in El Cajon.
Program entertainment will be provided by Cantate (pictured above).
Cantate Women’s Ensemble is a group of 22 Granite Hills High School Choir alumni and friends, brought together a year ago by retired GHHS Choir Director, Merryl Nelson. Granite Hills classes represented range from 1999 to 2012 when Nelson retired.
