Free AAUW Tickets

One of my favorite things about the first Saturday in November is the American Association of University Women’s Home Tour and Art Show.

Rain or shine. Year in, year out. It wouldn’t be November in the North State without it.

I love seeing the selected houses each year. I love getting decorating, construction, art and gardening ideas. I love seeing how others live. I love bumping into people I’ve not seen for a while. I love seeing local artists work, and buying tickets for a chance to win an original art piece.

Love, love it, absolutely lovely. All of it.

The AAUW Home Tour and Art Show is a super date event, and a wonderful girl-friend, mother-daughter, sister event, too.  

It’s fun, but it’s important, too. This one day requires a year’s worth of planning and coordination, all done to benefit AAUW’s scholarship fund and educational foundation.

These more serious aspects are near and dear to my heart because I was a lucky AAUW recipient (a million years ago) as a journalism student transferring from Shasta College to CSU, Chico. I will forever remain grateful to AAUW for lending me a hand with my education when I needed it most. Many other North State women received – and continue to receive – similar help from AAUW.

It just so happens that anewscafe.com has three available tickets for three lucky people to attend Saturday’s AAUW Home Tour and Art Show 2009.

We’d like to pass them on to our favorite people: you.  

The first three people who email me their favorite holiday recipe will win one ticket to  AAUW’s 39th Annual Home Tour and Art Show 2009 – Sat. Nov. 7 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Readers’ recipes will be posted on anewscafe.com’s Food section.
