Grand Prize Winner! Pictured in her
award-winning 50th State muumuu is Eleanor
P. Her original dress was worn at the Hawaii
50th Statehood Day celebration in August of
1959. How fitting that she wore it to the AAUW
Windward Branch 50th celebration in 2009!
Congratulations, Eleanor!!!
Florence K. took the prize for best 1950's
accessories. Notice her gloves, hat, shoes and
stockings! (you don't see stockings anymore
in Hawaii!). Not pictured but duly noted - a
matching white handbag. Congratulations,
Florence.
Marilyn McG. took the prize for best
church-going outfit. That is before she donned
the mink stole and blond wig. Remember
those wigs, ladies? Her basic black
go-everywhere shift plus pearls were
reminiscent of what everyone had in their
closets years ago! Congratulations, Marilyn.
Past presidents were also honored at the 50th-year celebration. All year
long, memories of past presidents were presented at each monthly general
meeting and recorded in the newsletter. Nancy, our newsletter editor,
compiled all the memories into a new booklet entitled "50 Years of
Reminiscences".
From L to R are Marsue, Florence, Nancy, Flo, Eppy, Betty, and our
current president, Kathy. Missing from photo are Grace, Alta, Kaye,Janet,
Faye, and Gretchen.
