What's New at AU?

It is that time again!
36th Annual Great American Write-In!

Let's join our friends at Women For: Orange County.

Remember to bring your return-address labels ~ and please carpool if you can!

Free parking! Free admission! Free refreshments! Free postage!

Women For: Orange County, a non-partisan women's group, is pleased to present the 36th Annual Great American Write-In. This free event is offered to the public every year to provide attendees with the means to influence policy decisions by writing letters to their legislators. It's also a great opportunity for participants to experience first-hand what informed citizen involvement in government is all about.

More than 50 different organizations and advocacy groups will be represented with information regarding some of today’s most vital issues, including education, health care, human and civil rights and the environment. Attendees are invited to visit the various tables and then voice their opinions by writing letters to government and corporate decision-makers in the hopes of bringing about constructive change.

There is no cost for this event; Women For: Orange County will supply the post cards, stationery, postage, refreshments and parking. At our last full event in 2019, more than 550 attendees generated over 4,250 letters and postcards!

Click HERE for the Eventbrite link to pre-register. (Each person in your group should register separately.) Registration is free and also available at the door on the day of the event.

See you at the Write-in!
