April Newsletter – Special Edition
President’s Message:
At AAUW, we are deeply committed to advancing women’s education and gender equality—and equally passionate about uplifting and celebrating the work and achievements of other women and girls. In this very special edition of our newsletter, I would like to highlight the inspiring story of Anne, a woman whose volunteer work has made a significant impact, yet often goes unrecognized and Marisol, a student and one of our GEM Scholars, who has received the Carrollton Youth Volunteer of the Year Award!
Enjoy! 🐕

Meditation Brunch
This event was a unique opportunity to explore and practice a variety of meditation styles. Lurence Turcios from Slow Trails was our meditation guide for the morning. Afterward, we enjoyed a delightful spread of brunch bites and refreshing drinks. It was the perfect way to wrap up our women’s health series with nourishment for both body and mind!
Women’s Health: As We Age
Last Saturday, our speaker, Nurse Practitioner Andrea Anderson, shared valuable insights on women’s health as we age, emphasizing the importance of early detection and preventative care. She discussed the critical role of regular blood work and tests in identifying potential health issues early on. Additionally, Nurse Anderson, highlighted the physical and emotional changes that come with menopause, offering guidance on how to manage this phase of life. Overall, her talk focused on empowering women to prioritize their health through proactive measures and informed decision-making.
The Brain and Body Benefits of Light Exercise
Alongside KayLynn’s excellent dance and exercise instruction, we watched a TED Talk featuring Dr. Wendy Suzuki, who explained that exercise boosts levels of noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin, positively impacting mood, attention, and energy. Furthermore, it fortifies the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, offering protection against incurable diseases affecting memory and executive function, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
