Interest Groups

AAUW Half Moon Bay is a very active and dynamic organization with many interest groups.  If you have a suggestion for another group you might like to see started, contact the Interest Group Coordinator and try to get something organized.

Currently we have the following groups:

Evening Book Group

The Evening Book Group meets the last Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m.  In July, members suggest and vote for books to read for the year. At each meeting a member leads an in-depth discussion of that month’s book. Coordinator: Nancy Evans
