What is AAUW Windward Branch
The Windward Branch is one of eight AAUW branches in the state of Hawaii. We are the largest of the 8
branches with 106 members. Regular membership is open to women who hold a degree from an accredited
college or university, including a two-year Associate degree. Our branch also offers an Interest group
membership as an option. Interest group members are individuals who share our vision but do not have the
degree.
Activities for our members include monthly programs or special events. Individual interest groups meet on
a monthly basis and include two literature groups, a Great Decisions study group, an Arts Smart group and
an Any Excuse for Lunch group. Fund-raising activities for scholarships are ongoing throughout the year.
AAUW Windward Branch welcomes visitors and new members at any time. Feel free to contact us at

What is AAUW
The American Association of University Women seeks to advance equity for women and girls through
advocacy, education and research. Founded in 1881 as the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, the
organization's original mission was to promote practical educational work. AAUW's mission has now
expanded to include AAUW EF (Educational Foundation) which works to advance educational and
professional opportunities for women in the United States and around the globe and AAUW LAF (Legal
Advocacy Fund) which works to combat sex discrimination in higher education and the workplace.
Today with more than 100,000 members, 1,300 branches, and 500 college and university partners, AAUW
contributes to a more promising future and provides a powerful voice for women and girls - a voice that
cannot and will not be ignored.

Catherine Sato, currently Vice President and Bank
Manager for the Bank of Hawaii, Kailua branch, gave a
wonderful presentation at the AAUW Windward Branch
meeting on February 6. Her topic was "Talking to Your
Grandchildren: What You Know About Finance That They
Don't."
She briefly covered topics from her handout such as
"paying yourself first, stick to a budget, and avoid
unnecessary debt." When discussing credit card
basics, she emphasized resisting temptation and
ensuring a good credit score. Pay credit cards in full, get
cards with awards and incentives and regard your credit
card as a loan. Ask yourself if you really need it! Other
tips from Catherine included buying airline tickets in
advance, avoiding ATM machines, track your spending,
invest if you can, and relax. Money isn't everything!
She offered thoughtful tips for managing your money -
something all of us need to think about, especially during
these harder times. Thank you, Catherine.
