Ring in the Holidays with AAUW

Don your holiday apparel and join us for a festive holiday lunch on Saturday, December 8th from 11:00 to 1:00 in the Juniper Room at the Riverside Hotel. From 11:00 to noon, enjoy your friends and meet new friends while you listen to jazz guitarist Ben Burdick and imbibe some holiday cheer at the no-host bar. Lunch will be served at noon, and the seating for this convivial event is OPEN!
In addition to the camaraderie, you can shop! Artisans for Hope will open a holiday shop exclusively for AAUW members. Get a head start on your holiday shopping and support Boise’s refugee artisans. 75% of the purchase price of each product is returned to its maker. Artisans for Hope not only gives these artisans some pocket money but, more importantly, a place where they feel valued and safe. Buying a handmade product from Artisans for Hope does so much more than check off a box on your Christmas list!

Fabulous food, delicious drink, fantastic friends, marvelous music, spectacular shopping—let’s start the celebration!
