Bajuk assumes new role at PA History Museum

Bajuk left Los Altos last year for the Palo Alto museum’s development director position. She succeeds former Director Myron Freedman, who is leaving for another position.

 

The Stanford Hills’ Chapter of National Charity League recognized its high school seniors at a black-tie dinner held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Palo Alto March 11.

The 20 young women, dubbed “Ticktockers,” have spent the past six years alongside their mothers volunteering in the community. Together they have performed more than 9,370 volunteer hours with nonprofit organizations such as the Ecumenical Hunger Program, Animal Assisted Happiness and the Palo Alto Art Center.
