AAUW member Jan Roberts presented the fundraising quilt to Carolyn Pearson who accepted it on behalf of her sister, Nancy Romero.
Tech Trek is a math/science camp sponsored each summer by American Association of University Women. The Tehachapi Mountain Branch sent three local girls to a week-long camp this past summer. It costs $1000 per girl and the branch had sponsors for two of the scholarships. They funded the third campership by a conducting a quilt raffle. The winning ticket was drawn at the September Membership Luncheon, and Nancy Romero became the new owner of the beautiful quilt which was made by AAUW member Lynne Bauer.
Nancy admired the quilt the minute she saw it and bought numerous tickets to increase her chances of winning. Her investment paid off, and she was thrilled when she received the news that she had won.
