Novato has had this “Trick or Treat for AAUW Funds” before. On Halloween night, the Funds Committee “trick or treats” to the members’ homes for donations to AAUW Funds.
Tustin held a mock high school reunion as an AAUW Funds fundraiser. The format was a pretend class reunion of an imaginary high school. Everyone who sent an RSVP was mailed a fake identity and name tag, complete with a “biography” and hints of high school romances,vendettas, foibles and scores to settle.
