Thank you to the John Joseph Zitnay and Theresa Zitnay Trust
Terry Zitnay was a long-time member of the Flagler Branch and we recently received news of this unexpected and most generous bequest to the AAUW Flagler Local Scholarship Fund (501c3). The generosity of this gift will enable the branch to continue and expand our scholarship activities for many years to come.

STEM CAMPS FOR YOUNG GIRLS
We send rising eighth grade girls to the AAUW FL Tech Trek camp each summer. Girls live on campus in residence halls, attend core classes, hands on workshops, field trips and a Professional Women’s Night. Potential campers must be in the seventh grade, nominated by their teacher, complete the application process and interview before selection is made by an AAUW state committee.
