Highlights of 2008-09

The Oakland-Piedmont Branch rocked an overflow crowd with a public policy program in November 2008 on Safe Cosmetics.  The event was co-sponsored with East Bay NOW and motivated by AAUW's public policy position on harmful chemicals in cosmetics.  Speakers included: Stacy Malkan, author of Not Just a Pretty Face, AAUW-CA Past-President Rita Wustner and Carly Wertheim from the Marin County Teens for Green and Safe Cosmetics.
