Meetings and interests - Membership info

Like all AAUW branches, St. Paul AAUW is interested in educational equality and opportunity for women, as well as a wide variety of other social and cultural  issues, and this interest is reflected in its programs and events. Unlike many other branches, St. Paul has its own clubhouse, known for many years as the St. Paul College Club. Meetings and events are held at this wonderful 100 year old Summit Avenue  mansion, which is located next door to the Minnesota Governor's Mansion. 

From September to mid May, the St. Paul Branch meets every Tuesday with programs at 10:45 a.m. and 1 p.m. Lunch is served at noon. Throughout the year, in accordance with our mission statement, speakers are presented by program committees: Public policy, Women's Issues, International Relations, Diversity, Environment, Cultural Interest, Education, and Community Projects. There is valet parking for regular meetings.

During fall and spring, periodic Thursday Evening Programs are held beginning at 5:30 Social Time, 6:00 Dinner, 7:00 Program.

In addition, there are groups meeting for discussions of books and special interests. Docent led tours at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts are arranged many months and we participate with Minneapolis Branch in the Contemporary Arts Forum at the Walker Art Center.

Prospective members and guests of current members may attend up to three day or evening meetings each program year.

Throughout the year, projects directed by a Ways and Means Committee raise funds for scholarships for St. Paul high school seniors to attend and continue in college and for the AAUW Educational Foundation and AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund.  

A House Ways and Means Committee works to provide for the preservation of our historic home.

To provide for daily maintenance and upkeep of our clubhouse, St. Paul Branch operates a facility rental and catering business know as St. Paul College Club. See our web site listed below.
