Dear AAUW Members, Friends of
AAUW, and all who lent their support, time, and energy to the One Book,
One Community Read program Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson
and David Oliver Relin.
I want to thank all AAUW members
for giving me the privilege of serving as Chairperson of this event.
I especially want to thank Randy Fewel for selecting me and asking me
to serve in this capacity. I was honored and highly moved
to promote Greg Mortenson and his mission which became our mission.
For me, this journey was inspiring,
emotional, and spiritual. I plan to continue my friendships
with all of you and especially the people I have met who are of Pakistani
and Afghan descent. I hope you do, too.
To all of you who participated
by working on a committee or in some other way,
I ’m sure you received and felt a personal enlightenment during this time.
To all of you who lent your support
by attending, I know you felt inspired and motivated to continue Greg’s mission.
A real sense of bonding for our
organization and our community came out of all our work and participation.
Let’s keep that bond. We all made this project a success.
Genevieve Angelides
