I’m Mary Letterman and have been in AAUW for about 14 years. I’m a member of this wonderful online branch, as well as the Tacoma Branch and currently I’m the Communications Person for both Tacoma and the State. I’m a teacher librarian with Tacoma Public Schools. My immediate family consists of my husband, college bound daughter and two somewhat trained cairn terriers 🙂
I’m Carolyn Hayek and joined AAUW during the summer I graduated from law school – 1973 – because my mother had been a longtime member and I was hoping her AAUW friends would help me with my campaign for the Mercer Island city council. They did help but I lost anyway. I am also a member of the Kirkland-Redmond Branch, where I currently serve as Co-President. I am a retired judge from the Federal Way District Court. Since leaving the court I was employed for a couple years as the Executive Director of People’s Memorial Association, but mostly I have been a community volunteer and paid wedding officiant. Recently, I have enjoyed performing ceremonies for many same-sex couples from across the country. I have two adult children and became a grandma this past year, so I feel like I have just entered a new phase in my life.
