Members of the Beaufort Branch of the American Association of University Women are pictured with Pre-K students at Shanklin Elementary School. The women initiated ‘Books for Birthdays’  four years ago in the public schools of both Beaufort and Jasper counties. Each month, volunteers go into the classrooms, read books and donate a book to each child to take home. Children having a birthday that month are given a special book and all celebrate with cupcakes and juice also donated by the AAUW. Pictured are teachers Ms. Wright and Ms. Willingham, AAUW members Lynn Lantz,  Barbara Mattingly and Veronica Miller.
