Dear Members and Friends:
Welcome to the University Women's Club for the year 2009-2010.
Our board has started planning our events and activities
for 2009-2010 since May. Our first gathering of the year,
the Fall Reception, will be held on Tuesday, September
8, 2009 at the Nittany Lion Inn. Besides this, there
will be a new member event on September 25th. Two more
fall events in October and our exciting annual shopping
trip in November will follow.
I would like to thank Dr. Sandra Spanier,our honorary
President, for her continued support and contributions
to our club. Dr. Sandra Spanier will present our scholarship
winners with certificates during our Fall Reception.
We hope that you will consider continuing your support
to our scholarship fund when you renew your membership.
This past June, Lurene Frantz, Teddy Nicholas, Marilyn
Gouran, and I attended the 13th Biennial Conference
of Big Ten Women’s Organizations hosted by University
of Wisconsin, Madison. It was a wonderful experience
for us. We represented Penn State and our wonderful club,
and we were also able to refresh our Big Ten friendships,
to share UWC activities during the past two years, and
to learn from the experiences of others. The next Big
Ten Conference will be held at Purdue University in 2011.
Please read Lurene Frantz’s summary about the
conference in this newsletter. Also, Charlene Harrison
has a short
report regarding our scholarship fund.
This year, we will continue to enhance our website. This
website will include information about our membership,
activities, interest groups, newsletters, and board members.
A membership application form may be found by clicking
on the membership form link on the top. Our New Member
Vice-President also has the new member pamphlets ready
for you to share with your friends.
It is my great honor to serve as your President this
year. I look forward to seeing you and your friends
at the Fall Reception. It will be a great time to
renew our friendships, to welcome new members, and
to sign
up for our various interest groups’ activities
and trips. I hope to see you at many activities throughout
the year. Let us make our 61st year a memorable beginning
for the next 60 years to come!
Sincerely,
Michelle Yen
President of 2009-10
