America is the best country in the world. In Azores we’d go to the movies and America would seem like a dream. We came here with fifty dollars in our pocket and worked twelve hours a day, six days a week to save money to buy this dry-cleaning business. America is better than we thought. We have everything we ever wanted

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is not a fashion show organization and doesn’t have any male members. But we do have occasional fashion shows as a fund raiser for fellowships and scholarships for young college age women. Membership in the A.A.U.W. is open to any woman who has a B.A. from an accredited college or university. Our organization isn’t “political” in that we get out in the commuity and do things. We have candidate nights, status of women and legislation reports, observer corps to attend all public meetings, consciousness raising for members. One of our bigget events is the annual book sale.

A plant serviceman, cleans, trims, prunes, waters and exchanges rented plants. I’m dusting a fiddle-leaf fig plant at the Trans-America building observation floor. I’m totally content with what I’m doing now.
