Women in the Arts
Our May 4th Branch meeting will be a very special one. We’ll gather at the High Museum of Art at 11:30 am for an important business meeting: the election of officers and nominating committee members for 2019-20. Those members who have served the Branch will also be recognized.
After the business meeting and lunch, members can tour the museum with our member docent, Diane Jones-Palm. The current special exhibits include European Masterworks: The Phillips Collection or way Out There?; The Art of Southern Backroads; Hand to Hand: Southern Craft of the 19th Century.
We have passes for members to tour the High’s “Women in the Arts!”
Members of the High can help another person to attend the exhibit with
a $5.00 fee. Docent lead tours are $15 per person for non-members. Self-guided tours are $12 per person. Contact Mary Lynn Merkle for passes.
There will be lunch at the Twelve Eighty, which includes salad, choice of three entrees, dessert and a beverage. Entree choices include crispy grouper sandwich and fries; grilled chicken with vegetables; or farmer’s Vegetable Faro. Choice of Crème Brûlée or chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Cost of the lunch is $25.
Please respond to the Evite ASAP with your entree and dessert choices or email Billie Collier at collierbillie@gmail.com
You may also choose to attend only lunch and the business meeting without a museum membership.

History
The Atlanta Branch of AAUW started holding an annual book fair in 1960. That year the fair was in a tent on the open-air upper level of the brand new Lenox Square Mall. In 1973 the book fair moved into Lenox’s newly enclosed, air-conditioned mall. It is now located in Atlanta’s Perimeter mall. In 1997 the book fair became a cooperative effort of the three branches in metro Atlanta:
Atlanta Branch
Cobb County Branch
Roswell-Alpharetta Branch
Travel Group
