1 Vol. 59, No. 1 Gainesville, Florida September, 2018 Welcome back UWC Members and Friends of the University Women s Club and the University of Florida. Our Count Down to 100 has started! The UWC Board has been working hard planning a new year for Club activities and communication. Our original mission statement remains the same: promoting Student Scholarship and opportunities to the University Community. You are invited to bring a friend, neighbor or new Gainesville resident to either of our Fall Open House events. Betsy Trent and Marie-Joelle Thatcher have planned a special day. On Wednesday, September 12, there will be two event times. Please see the invitations on page 3 and be sure to RSVP. If it has slipped your mind to send your dues, there is a registration form on the back of this letter. There will be 2 Six O clock Scholar Dinners this year. Although we will no longer be having Tea and Timely Topics, there is a day trip planned in March and also a May Author Luncheon. Joan Van- Rinsfelt has planned a really very special Scholarship Evening Dinner in April. Be sure to check the UWC Calendar of Events on this page and mark your calendars for our events. All of the Interest Groups will begin their meetings in September. Marie-Joelle Thatcher has agreed to chair the Explorers and she has some really wonderful places to go and people to see.
