For 130 years American Association of University Women (AAUW) members have been committed to its mission of advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research. The Lewis County Branch of AAUW was formed 100 years ago in 1923 and continues to be a vibrant organization where women gather to promote education for women at branch and interest group meetings.
Each year scholarships are given to women attending college and girls attending STEM camps. Each October we co-host, with Centralia College, Expanding Your Horizons, a career day for middle school students. These activities are funded by the proceeds of our annual Used Book Sale. Our next book sale will be March 26-28, 2026 at the Moose Lodge in Centralia. If you have books to donate, call or text Betty at 360-827-5838. For the last two years, we have hosted an Evening with Authors with proceeds donated to Hope Alliance, an organization that advocates for and empowers survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
