The Spy and the Traitor; The Greatest Espionage Story of the Cold War by Ben Macintyre
Oleg Gordievsky was a spy like no other: the product of a KGB family and the best Soviet institutions. He eventually saw the lies and terror of the regime for what they were, and turned toward the West. As the Cold War heated up, he provided critical information that foiled Soviet plots, exposed spies of the West, and ultimately avoided nuclear escalation between the great powers. It is a riveting story of intrigue that sounds frighteningly like echoes of today.

Tuesday, 06/14 – Last day to purchase/sell tickets for Scholarship Fundraiser
We are again participating in the 100 Holes 50/50 fundraiser to help fund our scholarship (AAUW gets half of the $20 ticket and Milford Rotary keeps the other half). The online process is very simple and you can share our link with family and friends outside of NH to increase our fundraising levels!
Here is our link to the 100 Holes ticket sales site: https://golf100holes.com/product/raffle-ticket/?ref=60
This is a much better setup than last year. It does come across as PayPal centric. If you are not a PayPal user have no fear! Click on the pay with PayPal button and scroll to the bottom – there is an option to pay with debit/credit card. Even when you do that, you still get a bunch of PayPal messages on screen and the confirmation email contains PayPal information as well. During your purchase you can indicate if you would like to receive the coupons or not. If you choose yes, they will be provided electronically directly to you – no paper to exchange at all!
The tournament will be Friday, June 17th

While waiting for the economy to get back on track, consider a program developed by AAUW to help women in salary negotiation. Work Smart Online is a free course that helps women achieve the pay they deserve. To access the online course type salary.aauw.org in your search bar and begin preparation to negotiate a better salary and benefits. An easy, engaging e-tool will teach participants to learn the market value of their skills and experience, determine an equitable “target salary” based on skills and experience, and ask for the pay they deserve. In surveys nearly all participants reported having more confidence and better negotiating skills after taking the class. For additional information, contact Susan Hoover at 603-213-6601.
