Page 2 THE HE UNIVERSITY NIVERSITY OF KANSAS ANSAS UNIVERSITY NIVERSITY WOMEN OMEN’S OMEN CLUB LUB NEWSLETTER EWSLETTER, EWSLETTER , OOCTOBER OCTOBER CTOBER 2012 From the president Dear UWC Members, C elebrate the present! What a great start to our UWC year! Sign-Up Day was attended by over 100 new and returning members who signed up for more than 20 interest groups and gave us suggestions for several more. Thanks, again, to Nancy Hale-Martinko and Suzanne Collins who planned such a lovely day. Thanks, as well, to all the group coordinators who sat at tables and enticed you to sign up for more interest groups than you can possibly attend this year. We honor the past with a list of Honored Members of UWC in this issue of the KU Women’s Club newsletter. We owe them our gratitude for all they have done for KU and for developing the thriving organization that we enjoy today. Embrace the future as our year unfolds. We welcome over 40 From the Board The UWC board met Sept. 27 and approved several changes in the organization’s constitution regarding job description (see article from Policy Chair Janis Hutchison elsewhere in this newsletter). The board also approved the president’s appointments to four committees: new and former members. Some are new to Lawrence and KU; some are just new to UWC. I hope you all will meet and greet them and make some new friends! Please take advantage of our exceptional monthly luncheon programs, thanks to Sandra Wiechert. The theme of KU: Far Above and Beyond certainly will carry us forward as we learn more about the workings of various aspects of KU. What a wonderful way for our new members to learn more about the university and for the rest of us to gain some additional knowledge, too! Luncheon reservations may be made with Mary Remus (331-2789) until Friday before the luncheon. An addition to our already excellent program schedule is that City Manager Dave Corliss will give us an update on the State of the City of Nominations: Muff Kelly, chair; Janeal Krehbiel, Jane Imber, Kathy Mulinazzi, Lee Hedrick Policy: Janis Hutchison, chair; Jane Kuwana, Joan Reiber Publications: Alice Clayton-Honea, chair; Janis Hutchison, Susie Lacy, Vicki Meadows Lawrence at our November luncheon. The UWC board regretfully has accepted the resignation of Sally Zogry, president-elect. She commutes to Topeka for her work, and her family and professional commitments keep her very busy. We will miss her. The election for her replacement will occur at our next meeting on Nov. 1. Our year is off to a terrific start, thanks to all of you who have embraced it with enthusiasm. I hope UWC will continue to be an enjoyable part of your busy schedule. Let me know if I can help make it even more so. I look forward to seeing you at many of our UWC activities. Today’s thought: If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere! Sally Brandt Scholarship: Jerree Catlin, chair; Marlene Merrill, Lori Michel, Rita Spradlin, Cathy Ebmeier The next board meeting will be the end of January, and the turnover board meeting for outgoing and incoming board members is set for Saturday, April 13, 2013.

He spoke on “KU Music Above and Beyond: The History of Music at KU,” and the hour just wasn't long enough for his abundant material. There were audible sighs from the audience when he had to stop. On Nov. 1, Monte Soukup, KU Endowment Association senior vice president for Property, will share his knowledge on “KUEA: Far Above, and Endowment Lands Beyond.” You will be astounded at the amount of land and property KU actually owns, where they are, and how Monte manages them. The Lied Center Pavilion will be the location for our Dec. 6 luncheon. And what a holiday treat you will have! Dr. Scott McBride Smith, School of Music and direc- tor of the International Institute for Young Musicians (IIYM), will speak on “KU IIYM: Pianos Far Above and Beyond.” His brief talk will be followed by piano performances from two Lawrence teenagers who attended IIYM last summer: Ulises Magana de la Paz, 12, and the winner of IIYM 2012, Chaeyoung Park, 15. You cannot imagine how outstanding these two pianists are. What a privilege to have them perform for us! (The location change is due to a complicated KU parking garage situation that day.) Returning to the Malott Room on Feb. 7, Jennifer Jackson Sanner, KU Alumni Association senior vice president for Communications, will speak on “KUAA: Far Above, and Serving Alumni Around the World.” Jennifer, as editor of the KU Special election for president-elect The UWC board accepted the resignation of Sally Zogry, president-elect, at its September meeting.

Timothy Caboni, KU vice chancellor for Public Affairs, will speak March 7 on “KU: Far Above, and its Campuses Beyond Mt.

It is my joy and privilege to plan and organize these programs. Do come and learn lots more about our beloved KU and its work far beyond Mt. Oread. And of course, attend the April 4 Scholarship Awards Luncheon and annual meeting.
