The Huntley Area AAUW (formerly the American Association of University Women) has an "Un-Happy Hour" mixer set next Tuesday. That's April 12, Equal Pay Day this year, the day on which organizers estimate working women reach pay equity with men. They claim Bureau of Labor Statistics figures show women earn less than 80 percent of what men are paid.
This year, the Huntley Area AAUW Branch will have their Un-Happy Hour mixer at Niko’s Grill & Pub Restaurant in Huntley. Each person may order her/his own drinks and food from the pub menu but there's a requested donation at the door to support the group's programs. It's $1 for men but only 80 cents for women.
