She pointed out that over the years, there have been 85 different locations on the tour, and 12-15 gardens have been shown more than once.
She added, since the AAUW Garden Tours began, around $40,000 has been raised, with proceeds from the garden tour supporting the AAUW Educational Foundation, the AAUW

GRAFTON, N.D. (AP) – Police say a woman who reported a home invasion and shooting in Grafton shot herself in the leg.
The woman fired two shots in the Tuesday morning incident and the second round pierced her leg.
The woman tells police she doesn’t believe the intruder was armed.
Police have interviewed neighbors and one person of interest in the case.
STANLEY, N.D. (AP) – Human remains found by a 10-year-old girl in Mountrail County have been returned to the earth after the state medical examiner determined the bones were likely from the 1500s or 1600s.
Mountrail County Sheriff Ken Halvorson says his office was called to a field in the western portion of the county after the girl unearthed what she believed were human bones.
The medical examiner determined that the bones were from at least two people and had been buried for many years.
Once foul play was ruled out, Halvorson contacted the property owner, who asked that the bones be reburied on the property.
The remains were buried following a brief ceremony led by a member of the Historical Society of the Three Affiliated Tribes.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – A convicted con man is jailed in North Dakota’s oil patch, awaiting trial on federal charges of impersonating an officer and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Court documents show Steven Goldmann tried to pass himself off as an FBI agent in Williston to score free coffee and a government rate at a budget hotel this spring. He was initially arrested for failing to pay back victims he swindled out of thousands of dollars in Nashville, Tennessee.
Goldmann’s court-appointed attorney says the 26-year-old is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of military service in Iraq.
Workers at the Boomtown Babes Espresso shop say they quickly realized Goldmann was a scam artist after he took advantage of the store’s policy to give free coffee to law enforcement.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says AmeriCorps is providing more than $250,000 in federal funds to provide GED tutoring and testing services to Standing Rock Sioux Tribe members through Sitting Bull College in Fort Yates.
The reservation of 2.3 million acres straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border.
The money will support 15 full and part time AmeriCorps members to tutor residents of eight communities on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation for three years. The goal is to help 100 people between the ages of 16 and 46 years old who have not finished high school successfully complete the GED test and earn a certificate.
Heitkamp says only about 50 percent of Native American students graduate from high school, compared to more than 75 percent for the general population.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Game and Fish Director Terry Steinwand assured lawmakers that corrective actions are being taken after an audit uncovered dozens of discrepancies with the agency’s practices.
Steinwand told the 20-member Legislative Audit and Fiscal Review Committee on Wednesday that “we’re going to do better.”
The review by the state auditor’s office criticized the agency’s misuse of public money and its “noncompliance with laws, rules and policies.” Problems uncovered by auditors included improper payments to employees and more than 100 guns missing from a volunteer hunter education program.
Steinwand says the agency has corrected about 80 percent of the problems found in the audit. He says about 18 guns remain missing from the hunter education program.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The committee charged with finding a new city manager for Minot has made its choice.
Committee members voted on Tuesday to enter contract negotiations with Lee Staab. He would replace David Waind, who retired.
Staab, of Larkspur, Colorado, served in the military more than 27 years and has held positions with the Corps of Engineers and a Virginia-based construction company.
Staab also is a finalist for town administrator in Wayland, Massachusetts.
Minot City Council President Mark Jantzer says Staab will be offered a salary of $145,000 annually.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Some teachers from around the state spent part of their summer vacation learning about farming.
The state-sponsored Agriculture in the Classroom program provided tours on Tuesday of several farm operations in north-central North Dakota.
One stop was at Nathan Fegley’s farm. Fegley says it’s interesting to hear the questions from teachers who may not have a lot of experience with farming.
The Agriculture in the Classroom program is designed to help students learn where their food comes from, and how to make healthy food choices.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Republicans have blocked a bill aimed at restoring free contraception for women who get their health insurance from companies that object on religious grounds. The vote was 56-43 to move ahead on the measure, but that was short of the 60 votes necessary to proceed. Democrats sponsored the election-year bill to reverse last month’s Supreme Court ruling that said closely held businesses with religious objections could deny coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Secretary of State John Kerry has been giving President Barack Obama an update on the talks aimed at reaching an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program. A White House spokesman says there are still gaps between Iran and the United States — and the U.S. negotiating partners — as they work toward a Sunday deadline. Diplomats have said that Iran and the world powers have tentatively decided to extend the talks beyond that deadline.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) – Israel’s military says it’s looking into the attack by Israeli navy vessels that killed four Palestinian boys in a coastal area of the Gaza Strip. Israel Wednesday also targeted senior Hamas leaders in dozens of airstrikes. A Hamas official says the militant group feels “alone in the field” with little support from the Arab world. He’s calling on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to support the Hamas rejection of an Egyptian cease-fire deal.
BOSTON (AP) – A federal jury in Boston has begun deliberations in the trial of a friend of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect. Prosecutors say he was an active participant in a plan to protect the bombing suspect by removing altered fireworks and other items from his college dorm room in Massachusetts.
MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) – Negotiators for both sides have arrived at a Manhattan law office to resume talks aimed at avoiding a weekend strike by workers on the nation’s largest commuter railroad. The parties, the New York transit authority and the unions representing Long Island Rail Road workers, have not met since Monday. That’s when they said talks had broken down. The railroad has nearly 300,000 daily riders.
