View a new film about Lilly Ledbetter
Exciting news! Our branch has the opportunity to view a new film about Lilly Ledbetter, whose long fight for equal pay for equal work culminated in a bill signed into law by President Barack Obama.
Her U.S Supreme Court case, Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., turned on the interpretation of the 180-day statute of limitations for filing a discrimination complaint under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. After losing at the Supreme Court, Ledbetter urged Congress to start the 180-day clock for filing a complaint on the date an employee learned of the discrimination. The result was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009.
This film, starring Patricia Clarkson, has been shown at film festivals and has won awards. We are the first to show it in San Diego.
This free screening will be held at the RB Library on Monday, March 24 at 4:30 pm. Please join us and invite your friends, family and neighbors!

MEMBERSHIP MATTERS – Contact us to get involved!
“Our mission is to advance equity of women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research”
Chartered in 1971, our branch has over 100 members residing in the Poway, Penasquitos and Inland North County communities.
Need to renew your membership? Most memberships expire each year on June 30. You have until then to go to the AAUW website to renew by credit card. Currently the membership dues are $115: $72 for National; $20 for CA; and $23 for our affiliate.
The first step is to log into the AAUW website. You may be asked to reset your password so you’ll have to enter your email address, then request to reset your password, which will be sent through your email account. Once you log in with your new password (remember to write it down and keep it for future use), click membership, and then renew national membership. Locating our affiliate is a bit tricky because they are listed by state, so look for the code CA0159 for Poway-Penasquitos. Once you check the branch, make sure you scroll down to the bottom and click submit. From there it will prompt you to the state, choose CA again, and scroll down to the bottom to submit. Then the process will take you to the payment page where you will enter your credit card info. Bingo, you are renewed for another year!
If you run into any problems, let us know. If you can’t pay on-line, you can send a check to our affiliate’s treasurer. Thank you to those that have already renewed!
